Yagan Railway

Yagan Railway Co., Ltd. (野岩鉄道株式会社, Yagan Tetsudō Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese third-sector railway running between Tochigi and Fukushima prefectures. It operates a single railway line, the Aizu Kinugawa Line (会津鬼怒川線, Aizu Kinugawa-sen).

The name of the line comes from the kanji characters of the ancient provinces of Shimotsuke (下野; now Tochigi Prefecture) and Iwashiro (岩代; now Fukushima Prefecture). The company's major shareholders include the two prefectural governments.
