Hōraioka Station (Hōraioka-eki) is a funicular railway station located in the city of Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway company Hieizan Railway.
Hōraioka Station is a station of the Sakamoto Cable, and is 0.3 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Cable Sakamoto. The train will stop only when it is notified in advance or when there is a call from the telephone installed at the station, and it usually passes.
The station consists of a single side platform with no station building. Due to the not-so-steep slope of 160 ‰ in the vicinity, the platform is sloped rather than stepped.
