- Hanayama Funicular
The nihongo|Skylator|スカイレーター|Sukairētā is a facility that traverses a steep incline in a residential area of
Kobe ,Japan . It can be considered as a sort of smallfunicular . In Japan, however, it is legally classified as an nihongo|inclineelevator |斜行エレベーター|shakō erebētā, not a funicular railway. There are many other similar facilities in the country, although they are relatively unknown. [http://www.geocities.co.jp/SilkRoad-Ocean/5869/others.html]Residents of Hanayama use this funicular to quickly reach the nearby train station. It is reliable and convenient. It's of the functional type and doesn't tend to attract tourism; save the odd visitor unfamiliar with funiculars.
