MITAKE TOZAN RAILWAY

The Mitake Tozan Railway (御岳登山鉄道, Mitake Tozan Tetsudō, "Mitake Mountain Railway") 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.

The funicular line is commonly known as Mitake Tozan Cable (御岳登山ケーブル, Mitake Tozan Kēburu). The difference in elevation between the two stations is 424 m (1,390ft). 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. Pasmo and Suica IC cards are accepted as payment methods.
