Hakkoda Ropeway

The Hakkoda Ropeway is a stunning spot to enjoy the magnificent nature of the Hakkoda Mountains. Since its opening in October 1968, it continues to attract visitors with its seasonal beauty. In spring, you can enjoy fresh greenery, in summer, alpine plants, in autumn, the vibrant foliage, and in winter, frosted trees. Particularly, from late September to October, the area becomes lively with leaf peepers, with the number of visitors reaching 100,000. In just 10 minutes, you can reach the summit park station of Mount Tamoyachidake, where you can stroll through a treasure trove of numerous ponds, marshes, and alpine flora. The sunset and stargazing ropeway events also take place, allowing you to fully appreciate the beautiful nature. Operating year-round, it is located within the Towada-Hachimantai National Park and is about a 40-minute drive from Aomori City. There are plenty of options for everyone, from leisurely walking courses to serious climbing routes.
