Hakone Tozan Cable Car, Mountain funicular railway in Hakone, Japan
The Hakone Tozan Cable Car connects Gora Station to Sounzan Station through 1.2 kilometers of mountainous terrain with a maximum gradient of 20 percent.
The funicular railway system began operations in January 1922, marking the first step in developing transportation infrastructure across the Hakone mountain region.
The red, white, and black cable cars follow Swiss engineering principles while integrating into the Japanese railway network that serves local residents and visitors.

During the journey, passengers gain 214 meters in elevation while passing by Hakone Gora Park, art museums, and natural thermal springs.
