The Kamidaki Line (上滝線, Kamidaki-sen) is a Japanese railway line which connects Minami-Toyama Station in Toyama, Toyama Prefecture with Iwakuraji Station in Tateyama, Toyama Prefecture. It is owned and run by Toyama Chihō Railway. This line and the Toyama Chihō Railway Fujikoshi Line are operated as a single line.

History

The line was merged into the Toyama Chihō Railway Co. upon its creation in 1943.
