Tsukubasan Cable Car

The Tsukuba san Cable Car reminded me immediately of the cable car in my home town that scales the Zugerberg. Bottom and top stations, the tracks, the cable guidance between the tracks, the crossing in he middle and the large driving wheel at the top station are very similar. Mt.
