 | | In Kansai, new railways are being built-the Osaka Loop Line between Shin-Osaka and Kyuhoji, the Osaka Municipal Subway No. 8 between Itakano and Yuzato, the Keihan-Nakanoshima New Line between Temmabashi and Tamaebashi, the Hanshin Nishi-Osaka Extension Line between Nishikujo and Namba, and the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line between Nijo and Tenjingawa. |
