The Fujisaki Line (藤崎線, Fujisaki-sen) is a 2.3 km railway line owned by the Kumamoto Electric Railway, serving Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The line branches southward from Kita-Kumamoto Station to Fujisakigū-mae Station.

Previously, this line extended to Kami-Kumamoto Station on one side and Kikuchi on the other. The section between Kita-Kumamoto and Kikuchi was transferred to the Kikuchi Line on October 1, 1950, and the section between Fujisakigū-mae and Kami-Kumamoto was transferred to the Kumamoto City Tram as the Tsuboi Line on June 1, 1954. The Tsuboi Line ceased operations in 1970.

Operations

[edit]

The line is electrified with overhead lines and is single-tracked for the entire line. Passing loops are located at Kita-Kumamoto Station for trains continuing on the Kikuchi Line.

All passenger services on the line continue past Kita-Kumamoto Station to Miyoshi Station on the Kikuchi Line. Trains arrive roughly every thirty minutes.[1]
