Amanohashidate Cable Car, Funicular railway in Miyazu, Japan.
The cable car system stretches 0.4 kilometers with two stations, climbing Mount Monju to an elevation of 130 meters at a maximum gradient of 461‰.
The Amanohashidate Cable Car initiated operations on August 13, 1927, temporarily closed in 1944 during wartime, and reopened in 1951 for tourist services.
The cable car provides access to viewing platforms where visitors practice 'Matanozoki', bending over to view the sandbar between their legs, a tradition since 1700s.
The funicular operates at 15-minute intervals with a journey duration of 4 minutes, connecting Fuchuu Station to Kasamatsu Station throughout the year.
The current cable cars, manufactured in 1975, feature compact designs that rank among the shortest passenger vehicles in Japanese railway regulations.
