Tsurumi Rinko Railway

The predecessor of the Tsurumi Line was a private railway called Tsurumi Rinko Railway Co., Ltd.
In July 1924, seven people including Soichiro Asano, Heizaburo Okawa, and Motojiro Shiraishi, were established as a transportation facility for landfills.
In 1926, the area between Hamakawasaki and Bentenbashi Bridge and between Shiraishi and Okawa were opened, and the Anzen-Oil (Hama Anzen) was opened in April.
The first phase of the line connecting Hamakawasaki and Ogicho was opened in 1928. After the second phase of the project, the entire line was opened from Tsurumi to Ogicho in February 1934.
In November 1940, the cargo line of Kaishibaura was opened from Shinshibaura, and the current route was finally completed.
In 1943, it was acquired by the Japanese National Railways during the war and became the Tsurumi Line, and the company is currently engaged in real estate leasing.
