The Amagi Line (甘木線, Amagi-sen) is a Japanese railway line connecting Kiyama Station (on the Kagoshima Main Line), Kiyama and Amagi Station, Asakura. This is the only railway line Amagi Railway (甘木鉄道, Amagi Tetsudō) operates. The company or the line is also called Amatetsu (甘鉄) locally. The line functions as a commuter rail line for Fukuoka.
The line was opened on April 28, 1939 by the Japanese National Railways (JNR) as the Amagi Line, in order to supply military equipment to Tachiarai Airfield. In 1981, the line was named a specified local line and considered for closure.
Amagi Railway was inherited the former JNR line on April 1, 1986.
Amagi Railways increased the number of trains and installed new stations, which increased the number of users and helped the company to move away from loss-making routes.
