The Nayoro Main Line(名寄本線) was a rail line which was operated by Japanese National Railways and later under JR Hokkaido, which extended from Nayoro to Engaru, where it connected with the Sekihoku Main Line. It had a branch line known as the Yubetsu Line(湧別線) which ran between Naka-Yubetsu and Yubetsu, and was originally a light rail line before it was converted in 1916.
The line opened in 1919 as the Nayoro Line(名寄線), and was designated as a main line in 1923. It was designated as one of the specified local lines under the JNR Reconstruction Act, and the entire line was closed on May 1, 1989. The Nishi-Okoppe and Yubetsu stations are now the site of a hotel and fire station respectively.[1][2]
