The company is unusual as its two detached lines belong to different regions. Daiyūzan Line runs in Kanagawa Prefecture, while Sunzu Line runs in Shizuoka Prefecture. Both primary function as commuter rails, but the latter also transports tourists to Izu resort.

In past, it also oparated "Komagatake Cable Line" (駒ヶ岳鋼索線), which was connected to its ropeway at the top of the mountain, from 1957 to 2005.
