The Meitetsu Toyokawa Line (名鉄豊川線, Meitetsu Toyokawa-sen) is a railway line in Toyokawa, Aichi, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu). The line connects Kō Station in the western part of Toyokawa with Toyokawa-inari Station in the eastern part of Toyokawa. The line is unique in the Meitetsu system in being one of a handful of heavy rail lines nationwide that fall under the Tramway Law. Another vestige of its past as a street railway could be seen in its right of way, which, despite being clearly segregated, partly lies in a road median.

Stations[]

All services stop at all stations.

History[]

The Kō to Shiyakusho-mae (now Suwachō) section was opened in 1945, electrified at 600 V DC, to serve a Japanese Navy shipyard. The voltage was increased to 1,500 V DC in 1953, and the following year the line was extended to Toyokawa-inari.^{[citation needed]}
