History
The line opened on 29 December 1900 between Takaoka and Fushiki, operated by the Chuetsu Railway.[1] It was extended to Himi on 19 September 1912.[1] The company was nationalised on 1 September 1920.[1] With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the Himi Line was transferred to the ownership and control of JR West.[1]
