Jōnan Line

The Jōnan Line (城南線) is a light rail line owned by Iyotetsu. The line is composed of a main line between Dōgo Onsen and Nishi-Horibata and a branch line between Heiwadōri 1-chōme and Kamiichiman. The two lines runs entirely within the city of Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, Japan.

History
The Jōnan Line was built in 1911 by the Matsuyama Electric Railway (松山電気軌道), who ran electric trams on a track. The Matsuyama Electric Railway was merged with Iyotetsu in 1921, who continued to operate the line. In 1923, the tracks were converted from 1435 mm to.

Operations
The line is electrified with overhead lines. The main line is double-tracked, while the branch line is single-tracked. Five light rail services, along with the heritage railway train Botchan, run on the line.
