Hakone Tozan Railway

About

The Hakone Tozan Line connecting Odawara and Gora boasts over 130 years of history, dating back to when the company was known as the Odawara Horse-drawn Railway. As Japan's steepest railway powered solely by wheel traction, it climbs at an 80‰ (per mille) incline by executing three switchbacks, zigzagging while reversing the direction of travel. Enjoy the unique scenery of a mountain railway, including sharp curves with a 30-meter radius, 13 tunnels, and 26 iron bridges, alongside Hakone nature's magnificent and ever-changing seasons.
