The first 22.9-km section of the Noto Line of Japanese National Railways (JNR) between Anamizu Station and Ukawa Station opened on June 15, 1959.
It was extended 9.9 km to Ushitsu Station on April 17, 1960, 13.8 km to Matsunami Station on October 1, 1963 and 14.5 km to Takojima Station on September 21, 1964 completing the line of 61.1 km in total, and featuring 49 tunnels in that distance.{{teishajo|I|163}}

The line was closed on April 1, 2005.
