{{nihongo|The Kada Line|加太線|Kada-sen}} is a railway line in Wakayama Prefecture owned by Nankai Electric Railway. This line connects to the Nankai Main Line. Starting in November 2014, it is referred to by the nickname "Kada Sakana Line" (加太さかな線).
History

The company merged with Nankai in 1942, and freight services ceased in 1984.
