Mountain railway in Japan
Hakone Tozan Line
The Hakone Tozan Line (Japanese: 箱根登山鉄道線, Hepburn: Hakone Tozan Tetsudō-sen; lit. 'Hakone Mountain-Climbing Railroad Line') is a mountain railway in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by Odakyu Hakone, an Odakyu Group company that also operates the Hakone Tozan Cable Car, Hakone Ropeway and Hakone Sightseeing Cruise. Although presented as a single railway line, the Hakone Tozan Line operates as two distinct sections with different technical and operational characteristics. The lower section, between Odawara and Hakone-Yumoto stations, is operated exclusively by through trains of the Odakyū Odawara Line using conventional Japanese narrow-gauge rolling stock. The upper mountain section, between Hakone-Yumoto and Gōra station, is operated by Hakone Tozan Railway trains built to standard gauge and specially designed for steep gradients and sharp curves. Passengers must change trains at Hakone-Yumoto.
