Hakone Tozan Line

From Gora, travelers can continue up the mountain on the Hakone Tozan Cable Car.

The railway is capable of climbing one meter vertically for every 12.5 metres (41 feet) of horizontal distance, with a maximum gradient of 8%.

Due to the difficult topography, the line has three switchbacks used to ascend particularly steep sections.

The section of the line between Hakone-Yumoto and Gora was suspended in October 2019 due to heavy damage caused by Typhoon Hagibis.

There are three signal stops on the Hakone Tozan Line in addition to the regular passenger stations.
