The Hakone Tozan Cable Car (箱根登山ケーブルカー, Hakone Tozan Kēburukā), officially the Cable Line (鋼索線, Kōsaku-sen), is a funicular railway in the town of Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan. It is operated by Odakyu Hakone, a Odakyu Group company who also operates the Hakone Tozan Train.[1][2]
The funicular links Gōra, the upper terminus of the railway line, with Sōunzan 214 metres (702 ft) above. At Sōunzan, connection is made with the Hakone Ropeway, which runs to Tōgendai on Lake Ashi.[3]
Opened in 1922, the line was rebuilt in 1995, when new cars replaced the old. In March 2020, the cars were replaced again with two new two-car red and blue trainsets supplied by Keio Juuki Seibi Co. Each trainset is able to accommodate up to 250 passengers.[1][3]
