The Yosan Line ( Japanese 予讃線 , Yosan-sen ) is a railway line on Shikoku Island in Japan . It is part of the line network of the Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku) and runs on the northern side of the island and thus along the Seto Inland Sea . It connects the cities of Takamatsu (administrative city of Kagawa Prefecture ) and Matsuyama (administrative city of Ehime Prefecture ) and then continues to Uwajima . It is partly built with two lanes and partly electrified with 1500 volts direct current.

The first section was put into operation in 1889. Prior to 1988 the line was called the Yosan Main Line . It received its current name on the occasion of the privatization of the Japanese National Railways . In one section it is also called the Seto Ōhashi Line , but this line also leads to other routes.

The freight transport company JR Freight operates the 203.0 km route between Takamatsu and Iyo Yokota in Masaki .
