The Kagoshima Main Line (鹿児島本線 Kagoshima-honsen) is a major railway line operated by the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) between Mojikō in Kitakyushu and Kagoshima Station in Kagoshima City at the southern end of Kyushu. Until March 13 2004 it covered 393 km between its two termini; however with the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen on March 13 the section between Yatsushiro and Sendai was transferred to the third-sector Hisatsu Orange Railway Company.
