Visit Nara

Convenient for ascending the steep mountain to Hozanji Temple and Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park, the line was built in 1928. The original cable cars were fairly standard, until they were replaced in 2000 with kitsch style cars shaped like dogs, cats and even cakes. Two cars run up to Hozanji Temple, then you need to transfer to continue up the mountain. The cable cars run about every 20 minutes.
