is a third-sector electric railway (tram) line in Takaoka, Toyama, Japan. The name Manyosen, which literally translates to Manyo Line, is used to refer to both the company and the name of the tram line they operate. Their head office, depot and maintenance facility is located adjacent to the tram stop.

== History == The first sections of the line opened on October 12, 1930. The section from Takaoka to Yonejimaguchi opened in 1948. The new line also continued to Fukishi-ko station, but the section beyond Yonejimaguchi was closed in 1971. The former operator Kaetsunō Railway considered closing the line due to heavy deficits and the end of government aid in 1997. In February 1998, Kaetsuno Railway announced their decision to cease all railway services. The two tram and railway lines were transferred to the newly established Manyosen, a third-sector railway on April 1, 2002.
