The {{nihongo|Watarase Keikoku Line|わたらせ渓谷線|-sen}} is a Japanese railway line connecting Kiryū Station in Kiryū, Gunma and Matō Station in Nikkō, Tochigi. This is the only railway line that the third-sector company {{nihongo|Watarase Keikoku Railway|わたらせ渓谷鐵道|Watarase Keikoku Tetsudō}} operates. The company and line are also known as {{nihongo|Watakei|わた渓}} or {{nihongo|Watetsu|わ鐵}}. The company acquired the line from the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in 1989. As the name suggests, the line runs along the Watarase River through a deep valley.

History

The Ashio Railway Co. opened the line to Ashio-Motoyama (2km beyond Mato) in 1911/12 to service the Ashio Copper Mine, and leased the line to JNR in 1913. Passenger services were introduced in 1914, and the line was nationalised in 1918.

The copper mine closed in 1973, the same year the line was deviated for the construction of the Kusaki Dam, including the 5242m Kusaki Tunnel.

In 1989 the Ashio-Motoyama - Mato section was closed and the operation of the balance of the line was transferred to the Watarase Keikoku Railway Co.
