The Jōetsu Line (上越線 Jōetsu-sen) is a major railway line in Japan owned by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It runs from Takasaki Station in Gunma Prefecture to Miyauchi Station in Niigata Prefecture linking the northwestern Kantō region and the Sea of Japan coast of the Chūbu region. The name refers to the old provinces of Kōzuke (上野) and Echigo (越後) which the line connects.
