Myoken no Mori Cable and Myoken no Mori Lift

Myoken Cable (a funicular, known in Japan as a "cable car") and Myoken no Mori Lift (a chairlift) were located approximately Template:Convert north of Myōkenguchi Station. They provided access to Myoken-do Temple. After 63 years of operation, they both closed on December 4, 2023 due to decreasing patronage and ageing equipment.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref>
