Kurobe cable car


The Kurobe Cable Car (黒部ケーブルカー, Kurobe Kēburukā), officially the Cable Line (鋼索線, Kōsaku-sen), is a Japanese funicular line in Tateyama, Toyama, operated by Tateyama Kurobe Kankō. The company also operates another funicular with the same official name. The line is a part of Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. The line goes entirely under a tunnel to protect it from snow. It opened in 1969.
