History

The line was opened on April 28, 1939 by the Japanese National Railways (JNR) as the Amagi Line, in order to supply military equipment to Tachiarai Airfield.[1] In 1981, the line was named a specified local line and considered for closure. Freight services ceased in 1984.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

On April 5, 1985, it was agreed that the line would be transferred to a newly created third sector railway company. Amagi Railway was thus created and inherited the former JNR line on April 1, 1986.[1]

Heavy rainfall damaged a bridge between Oitai and Matsuzaki in 2006 and buses provided the link between those two station for six months until the bridge was repaired.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
