TheOsaka Metro Sakaisuji Line(Giới cân tuyến,Sakaisuji-sen)is an undergroundrapid transitline inOsaka,Japan, operated byOsaka Metro.Its official name isRapid Electric Tramway Line No. 6(Cao tốc điện khí quỹ đạo đệ 6 hào tuyến),and inMLITpublications, it is written asLine No. 6 (Sakaisuji Line)(6 hào tuyến ( giới cân tuyến )).

The Sakaisuji Line is unique in the Osaka Metro system in that despite being regulated as a tramway under theRailway Business Actlike the other lines, the line was constructed as an extension of a line governed as a railway, specifically theHankyu Senri Line,to which the Sakaisuji Line connects to at its northern end atTenjimbashisuji Rokuchōme Station.Through services using both Osaka Municipal Subway and Hankyu rolling stock operates to and from the Senri Line andArashiyama Linevia theKyoto Main Line.^[1]^[2]

History[edit]

The Sakaisuji Line was first envisioned in the Urban Transportation Council Report No. 3 (1958) as an underground line running from Tenjimbashisuji Rokuchōme toTenmaviaSakaisujiandDobutsuen-mae,and it was to be operated by Hankyu Railway instead of the Osaka prefectural government. In 1963, the Urban Transportation Council Report No. 7 (1963) recommended that the southern terminus of the Sakaisuji Line be atTengachayainstead of Tenma.

Later unrealised plans for the Sakaisuji Line included two separate extensions toNakamozuandSugimotochō,and at one point it was envisioned that through-services between thestandard-gaugeHankyu Railway and thenarrow-gauge Nankai Railwaywould be realised by connecting them together with the Sakaisuji Line through the use ofdual gaugetracks, however that plan was abandoned due to the differentelectrification systemsused by Hankyu and Nankai.^[3]^{[page needed]}

The Sakaisuji Line opened on December 6, 1969 between Tenjimbashisuji Rokuchōme and Dōbutsuen-mae,^[4]at which point the previous ground-level southern terminal of the Hankyu Senri Line at Tenjinbashi was closed.^{[citation needed]}The line was extended from Dōbutsuen-mae to Tengachaya on 4 March 1993, as a metro-based replacement of the former Nankai Tennoji Branch Line which closed at the same time.^{[citation needed]}

Stations[edit]

Station numbers on the Sakaisuji Line (excluding Hankyu-operated stations) are indicated by the letter "K".

The seasonal Limited Express service known as "Hozu" (operated by Hankyu between Tengachaya and Arashiyama) stops at the stations with a "●", while other trains (local trains, Sakaisuji Semi-Express trains, and trains toKawaramachi) stop at every station.^{[citation needed]}

All stations are in Osaka.
