Jōetsu Line

Jōetsu Line

The nihongo|Jōetsu Line|上越線|Jōetsu-sen is a major rail line in Japan. Part of the JR East system, it runs from Takasaki Station in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, to Miyauchi Station in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, linking the northwestern Kantō region and the Sea of Japan coast of the Chūbu region.

Before the opening of the Jōetsu Shinkansen in 1982, the Jōetsu Line operated frequent service of express trains connecting Tokyo and Niigata. Now the line is dominated by local and freight trains.

The 2004 Chūetsu earthquake seriously damaged the Joetsu Line, causing JR East to close it for about two months.

The branchline of the Jōetsu Shinkansen between Echigo-Yuzawa Station and Gala-Yuzawa Station (Gala-Yuzawa Line) procedurally belongs to the Jōetsu Line.
