History
Ōyama-cable Station is the lower terminus of the Ōyama Cable Line (大山鋼索線), a 0.76 km funicular operated by Ōyama Kankō Dentetsu in Isehara, Kanagawa Prefecture — part of the Odakyū Group since 12 February 1957 and a Kanachū equity-method affiliate. The line was opened on 11 July 1965, after Ōyama Kankō (founded on 21 July 1950, renamed Ōyama Kankō Dentetsu in August 1953) developed the route to ferry pilgrims and sightseers up Mount Ōyama in the Tanzawa range. Trains run at 20-minute intervals on a 6-minute journey to the upper terminus at Afuri-jinja Station; the lower terminus connects to Isehara town via the famed Ōyama Kōma-sandō stone-stair shopping street.
