The Otokoyama Cable (男山ケーブル, Otokoyama Kēburu), officially the Cable Line (鋼索線, Kōsaku-sen), is Japanese funicular line in Yawata, Kyoto, operated by Keihan Electric Railway. The line opened in 1926 as a route to Iwashimizu Shrine. Riders on January, the season of hatsumōde (New Year's Day visit to shrine), account for 50% of the whole year ridership.
