The **Maya Cablecar**, officially the **Maya Cable Line** (摩耶ケーブル線, *Maya Kēburu-sen*) is a [funicular](/source/Funicular) line in [Kobe, Hyōgo](/source/Kobe,_Hy%C5%8Dgo), Japan, operated by the public company [Kobe Future City Corporation](/source/Kobe_Future_City_Corporation).[1] The line opened in 1925, originally as a route to Tōri Tenjō-ji temple on [Mount Maya](/source/Mount_Maya). Now the line is used to see the scenic view of Kobe. Together with [Maya Ropeway](/source/Maya_Ropeway), the line has an official nickname **Maya View Line Yume-Sanpo** (まやビューライン夢散歩, *Maya Byū Rain Yume-Sanpo*, "Maya View Line Dreamy Stroll").
