 However, the last of both lines closely paralleled each other, so Sankyū developed a plan to utilize one of these two sets of tracks to provide service to both Osaka and Nagoya and to phase out and eventually close the other.It was decided that the Sankyū Main Line was the better line for this task and that Sankyū-Nakagawa Station (now ) would serve as the three-way meeting point of trains bound for Osaka, Nagoya, and Ujiyamada.This plan became a reality within just a couple of years; the Ise Line was extended northeast to Nagoya and a new track connecting the Ise Line (at ) to Sankyū-Nakagawa was completed (this would later become the Kintetsu Nagoya Line).
