Dai-Kanbo is a station located on the cliff of Mt. Tateyama. Standing at an altitude of 2,316 meters, the Tateyama Ropeway, which connects it with Kurobe Plateau Station, is the biggest attraction. From the ropeway, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the natural beauty that changes with the seasons, including the Kurobe Lake and the Hōō Mountain Range below. Interestingly, there are no support pillars between the ropeway stations. In the snow-covered Mt. Tateyama, there is a risk of pillars being swallowed up by the snow and breaking, so the ropeway was built using the "one-span method" that deliberately avoids support pillars. Thanks to this, there is nothing to obstruct the view during the ride, and you can truly enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view. The ride takes about 7 minutes, and while some may find it short and others long, it's an experience that makes many visitors want to come back in different seasons, making it easy to understand why there are many repeat visitors.
