Keihan Cable Line funicular, in prior Otokoyama Line livery
The Iwashimizu-Hachimangū Cable (石清水八幡宮参道ケーブル, Iwashimizu hachmangū sandō kēburu), officially the Keihan Cable Line (京阪鋼索線, Keihan Kōsaku-sen), is a Japanese funicular line in Yawata, Kyoto, operated by Keihan Electric Railway. The line opened in 1926 as a route to Iwashimizu Shrine. Riders in January, the season of hatsumōde (New Year's Day visit to shrine), account for 50% of the whole year ridership.
Prior to October 2019, it was known as the Otokoyama Cable (男山ケーブル, Otokoyama Kēburu).[1]
