Location

History

The mountaintop terminus of Keihan Electric Railway's Cable Line (the Iwashimizu-Hachimangū Sandō Cable) opened on 22 June 1926 as Otokoyama Station on the Otokoyama Cable Railway. After the operator was renamed Otokoyama Railway in May 1928, the line was discontinued on 11 February 1944 amid wartime materials requisitioning. Keihan reopened the funicular on 3 December 1955 with this station first known as Hachimangū. On 1 January 1957 it was renamed Otokoyama-sanjō, and on 1 October 2019, when the Keihan main-line and cable-car stations were administratively separated, it took its current name. The station sits at 99.6 metres elevation atop Otokoyama in Yawata, Kyoto Prefecture.

Notes

There is no ticket machine or ticket gate at the summit station; passengers boarding here settle the fare when they leave the funicular's lower station, Cable-hachimangū-guchi, at the foot of Otokoyama.
