The Yodo Line (予土線, Yodo-sen) is a railway line in Shikoku, Japan, operated by Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku). It connects Kubokawa Station, Shimanto, Takaoka District in Kōchi Prefecture and Uwajima in Ehime Prefecture.[1] Its name comes from the ancient provinces of Iyo () (now Ehime Prefecture) and Tosa () (now Kōchi Prefecture), which the line connects.
