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, Kyōto, 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.
