It was opened by Myōken Cable Railway (妙見鋼索鉄道) in 1925, comprising the Kabu Line and Jōbu Line, both of which were abandoned in 1944. The Kabu Line reopened in 1960 as Myoken Cable, while the Jōbu Line became a chairlift. After 63 years of operations, the Myoken Cable Line was permanently ceased operations on December 3, 2023.
