The Myoken Cable (妙見ケーブル, Myōken Kēburu), officially the Myoken no Mori Cable (妙見の森ケーブル, Myōken No Mori Kēburu), was a Japanese funicular line that climbs Mount Myōken (妙見山) in Kawanishi, Hyōgo. It was operated by Nose Electric Railway. It was opened by Myōken Cable Railway (妙見鋼索鉄道, Myōken Kōsaku Tetsudō) in 1925, comprising the Kabu Line and Jōbu Line, both of which were abandoned in 1944. The Kabu Line reopened in 1960 as Myoken Cable, while the Jōbu Line became a chairlift. The line was known as the Cable Line (鋼索線, Kōsaku-sen) prior to 16 March 2013 when the line received its current name. After 63 years of operations, the Myoken Cable Line permanently ceased operations on 3 December 2023.
