7th is considered the anniversary of the opening of the Konan Railway, as it was on September 7, 1927, that the Hirosaki-Tsugaru Onoe section (part of the current Konan Line), operated the Konan Railway Co., Ltd. company that operated the Konan Line and Owani Line mainly in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture opened.

Originally, the company only operated the Konan Line, but in 1970, it acquired the Owani Line, which had been opened as the Hirosaki Electric Railway, and thus became a railway company that currently operates two lines

In 1984, they also took over the former JNR Kuroishi Line, but that line was discontinued in 1998
