Hanwa Line(JNR103)

The Hanwa Line (阪和線, Hanwa-sen^?) is one of commuter rail lines and services in Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto Metropolitan Area, owned and operated by West Japan Railway Company. It runs between Osaka and Wakayama, Japan.

It was built in 1929 and operated by the Hanwa Electric Railway Company until 1944, when it was nationalized.

When Kansai International Airport opened in 1994, the Hanwa Line became one of the main railway links between the city and the airport (along with the Nankai Main Line).

JR West plans to offer through service to the Osaka Outer Loop Line upon the new line's completion in 2012.
