Hakuhō Line
Hakuhō Line (Japanese: 白棚線) is a JR Bus Kanto bus route. It connects Shirakawa Station in Shirakawa, Fukushima, with Iwaki-Tanakura Station, Higashishirakawa District. The route was originally a private railway, taken over by Japanese Government Railways in 1941. It was then transferred to The Ministry of Transport and Communications in 1943. Rail service was suspended in 1944, being replaced by buses. In 1957 the Japan National Railway (JNR) bus department converted the right-of-way to an exclusive bus road. After the JNR break-up in 1987, the bus route was transferred to JR East and JR Bus.
