The Esashi Line (江差線, Esashi-sen?) is a Japanese railway line operated by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido). It runs between Goryōkaku and Esashi.
All stations are in Hokkaido. Track: ∥: Double track, ∨: Double track ends, ◇: Passing loop |: No passing loop
On 7 August 2012, JR Hokkaido announced its intention to close the 42 km section of the line between Kikonai and Esashi in spring 2014 due to a lack of financial viability.[1] In fiscal 2011, the Kikonai - Esashi section was served by six return services daily, with an average patronage of 41 passengers per km daily, the lowest for any of JR Hokkaido's lines.[2]
