The Izu Kyà «kà  Line () is a privately owned railway line of the Izukyà « Corporation in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The line approximately parallels the eastern coast of the Izu Peninsula, a tourist district noted for its numerous hot spring resorts, and golf courses, between Ità  Station in Ità  and Izukyà « Shimoda Station in Shimoda. The line opened in 1961.
Since March 13, 2010, PASMO and Suica cards are accepted on the line.
Initial plans called for the Japanese National Railways (JNR) to build a spur line linking Atami on the Tà Âkaidà  Main Line with Shimoda. However, funding was limited in the 1930s due to a combination of a tight fiscal policy under Prime Minister Osachi Hamaguchi during the Great Depression, and a number of technical issues.
On March 30, 1935, the initial 8.7 km section of the Ità  Line linking Atami with was opened. The second (8.3 km) section from Ajiro to was opened on December 15, 1938. Both sections were electrified at 1500 VDC when opened. Further work was delayed, and then canceled due to the outbreak of World War II.
Construction south of Ità  resumed when the private-sector Tokyu Corporation acquired the rights to complete the line to Shimoda and established the Izukyà « Corporation to manage construction and operations of this section. The line to Shimoda opened in 1961.
The northern terminal station for the Izu Kyà «kà  Line is at Ito Station, from which local trains depart for the southern terminal station of Izukyà «-Shimoda. However, several varieties of limited express trains operated by JR East originate at Tokyo Station travel via the Ità  Line tracks to Ito, and then terminate at Izukyà «-Shimoda. These include the Odoriko and Super View Odoriko named trains. Similarly, the Resort Odoriko operated by the Izu Kyà «kà  Line also makes the same run, but using different rolling stock.
