Osaka Higashi Line

The Osaka Higashi Line (おおさか東線 Ōsaka-Higashi-sen) is a railway line in Osaka, Japan, operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR-West). Before being named on August 23, 2007, the line was constructed with the tentative name "Osaka Outer Loop Line (大阪外環状線 Ōsaka-soto-kanjōsen)". The line will connect Shin-Osaka Station in northern Osaka with Kyūhōji Station in Yao, forming an arc around the eastern suburbs of the city, but currently only the southern half of the line, between Hanaten and Kyūhōji, is in operation as a connection between the Tōzai/Katamachi and Yamatoji lines.
