Yakuri Cable

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yakuri Cable (八栗ケーブル, Yakuri Kēburu^?) is Japanese funicular line in Takamatsu, Kagawa. The line does not have any official name. This is the only funicular line Shikoku Cable (四国ケーブル, Shikoku Kēburu^?) operates, while it also operates aerial tramways. The line opened in 1931 as a route to Yakuri-ji, the 85th temple of Shikoku Pilgrimage.
