Mitake Tozan Railway

The Mitake Tozan Railway (御岳登山鉄道) is a Japanese transport company in Ōme, Tokyo. It belongs to the Keio Group. The company operates a funicular line and a chairlift, both in Mount Mitake. The company was founded in 1927.

Funicular line
The funicular line is commonly known as Mitake Tozan Cable (御岳登山ケーブル). The difference in elevation between the two stations is 424 m (1,390 ft). Construction began in 1930, and operation started in 1935. In 1944, it was suspended due to World War II and partially scrapped for material, with operation only starting again in 1951.

In 1991, the gauge was changed from the original 1,067mm to 1,049mm because the rail profile was increased.

Three generations of vehicles have been used on the route. The original Ko-1 type (コー１系) was replaced with the Ko-2 type (コー２系) in 1968, which was in turn replaced in 2008.

Pasmo and Suica IC cards are accepted as payment methods.
