Shin-Hotaka Ropeway
The Shin-Hotaka Ropeway, the first two-story gondola in Japan, spans a total length of 3,200 meters and takes you to a world above the clouds at an elevation of 2,156 meters. From the observation deck at the Nishihotaka-guchi Station, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Northern Alps, including peaks such as Nishihotaka, Yarigatake, and Kasagatake. In Sengokuen, alpine flowers and mountain plants bloom beautifully from May to October, and the autumn leaves are at their best from mid to late October. In late October, a stunning vista of clear blue skies, snow-covered mountains, and vibrant autumn foliage unfolds. During winter, a massive snow corridor appears, captivating visitors with the beautiful landscapes of each season.
