Keihan Electric Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keihan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (京阪電気鉄道株式会社 Keihan Denki Tetsudō Kabushiki-gaisha?) (TYO: 9045 )is a Japanese railway network in Osaka, Kyoto, and Shiga Prefectures. It is known as "Keihan Dentetsu" (京阪電鉄?) or "Keihan Densha" (京阪電車?). As of 2006, IC cards (PiTaPa and ICOCA) are accepted not when taking cable cars and the Otsu Lines, but when taking the Keihan Lines.
The name Keihan is derived from the words Kyoto and Osaka in Japanese. The characters for Kyoto are 京都 and Osaka's are 大阪. If you take the first character from Kyoto and the second from Osaka you get 京阪 which can be read "Keihan".
