Hanwa Line

The Hanwa Line (阪和線) is a railway line that runs between Osaka and Wakayama, Japan. It is operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).

It was built in 1929 and operated by the Hanwa Electric Railway Company until 1944, when it was nationalized.

When Kansai International Airport opened in 1994, the Hanwa Line became one of the main railway links between the city and the airport (along with the Nankai Main Line).

JR West plans to offer through service to the Osaka Outer Loop Line upon the new line's completion in 2012.
