Jukkokutōge Cable Car funicular.
The Jukkokutōge Cable Car (十国峠ケーブルカー, Jukkokutōge Kēburukā?), officially the Jikkoku Cable Line (十国鋼索線, Jikkoku Kōsaku-sen?), is Japanese funicular line in Kannami, Shizuoka, operated by Izuhakone Railway. The line climbs Jukkoku Pass, literally meaning "ten countries pass", as the ten "countries" (provinces) can be seen from the top. The line opened in 1956.
