Railway lines
The company operates two detached lines in different prefectures. The Daiyūzan Line runs in Kanagawa Prefecture, while the Sunzu Line runs in Shizuoka Prefecture. Both lines primarily function as commuter rails, but the latter also transports tourists to the Izu Peninsula.
In the past, it also operated "Komagatake Cable Line" (駒ヶ岳鋼索線), which was connected to the ropeway at the top of the mountain from 1957 to 2005.
