Chōshi Electric Railway Line (銚子電気鉄道線 Chōshi Denki Tetsudō-sen) is a railway line of Chōshi Electric Railway, between Chōshi Station and Tokawa Station, all within Chōshi, Chiba Prefecture in Japan.
The operator only owns this short line with its declining ridership. The company, however, ventured into a subsidiary business to compensate the deficit, and now become a confectionery maker, especially senbei (rice crackers). In fact, now the profit from the sales of confectionery is twice bigger than that from the railway. [1]
