Amanohashidate Cable Car

The Amanohashidate Cable Car (天橋立ケーブルカー) is Japanese funicular line in Miyazu, Kyōto. The line is also called Amanohashidate Cable Railway (天橋立鋼索鉄道) or Kasamatsu Cable (傘松ケーブル), but it does not have any official name. This is the only funicular line Tango Kairiku Kōtsū (丹後海陸交通) operates, while it also operates buses and ships. The company is abbreviated as Tankai (丹海). The line opened in 1927 as a route to Nariai-ji temple, with a scenic view of Amanohashidate. A chairlift runs along the line as well.
