A phantom railroad legacy that was left unfinished due to reasons such as war, despite the fact that construction was started twice in the Showa era.
Construction of the Imafuku Line started in 1933 from Shimofu Station on the former JNR Sanin Line to Iwami Imafuku Station as a route on the Shimane Prefecture side of the Hirohama Railway that connects Hiroshima and Hamada. However, in 1940, when the construction was almost completed, it was canceled due to the war. After the war, construction was resumed as a new Imafuku Line starting from Hamada Station, separate from the old Imafuku Line, but in 1980, due to the chronic deficit management of the Japanese National Railways, construction was suspended again. . After that, no business took over the construction, and the line ended as an incomplete line, and it came to be called the "Phantom Hirohama Railway."
