In 1928 Gobo Rinko Railway The company was established for the purpose of contacting the Gobo city area away from the JNR Kisei Nishi Line, and opened a railway in 1931. The management was severe from the beginning, and after the war, it was driven into a crisis of abolition in the 1960s due to disasters such as flood damage and the progress of motorization.

In 1972, Bandai Express Electric Railway (bankruptcy in 1968, 1969 Railway abolished in 1969), established by the former management team, seeks the title of a “railway company”. [3] Gobo Rinko Railway was acquired for about 100 million yen. In January of the following year, Kishu Railway And changed the company name. At this time, since the business was transferred after the new company was established, the two were strictly different from their corporate status.

In 1975, Kishu Railway Real Estate Co., Ltd. was established. In 1978, the head office was relocated to Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. In 1979, he joined the Tsuruya Sangyo, which operates a real estate and resort, and establishes the Kitan Hotel Co., Ltd., and moves the headquarters to Chiyoda -ku, Tokyo the following year.

To date, the main division of real estate business, which is based on resort development, has a small and chronic deficit, and the real estate company is a real estate company. However, when running a real estate industry, a railway company has the advantage that it leads to trust, and it also has the affection for the company name and railway, so it continues to operate regardless of the deficit.
