The Hokuriku Railway Komatsu Line was a railway that traveled almost straight on flat terrain from the back of Komatsu Station at that time to Ugawa Yusenji Temple, 5.9 km away.
From the late Meiji era to the Taisho era, a dedicated railway was connected to the Yusenji copper mine, which was at that time a thriving business,
In the late Taisho era, the Hakusan Electric Railway from Komatsu to Kana Railway (later Hokuriku Railway Kana Line) Kama Shimizu was planned using the base of the railway,
The area between Komatsu and Yusenji (later Ugawa Yusenji) opened on May 15, 1929.
After the war, it became the Hokuriku Railway Komatsu Line, and there was a plan to extend the Nomi Line to Kagasano, but it was not realized,
Since the number of passengers did not stop at the peak of 1967, it was closed only on May 31, 1986.
