🚃 Myoken Cable

The Myoken Cable , officially the Myoken no Mori Cable , was a Japanese funicular line that climbs Mount Myoken in Kawanishi, Hyōgo. It was operated by Nose Electric Railway. It was opened by Myōken Cable Railway in 1925, comprising the Kabu Line and Jōbu Line, both of which were closed in 1944. The Kabu Line reopened in 1960 as Myoken Cable, while the Jōbu Line became a chairlift. The line was known as the Cable Line prior to 16 March 2013 when the line received its current name. After 63 years of operations, the Myoken Cable Line permanently ceased operations on 3 December 2023.
