Mizusawa Ropeway

The Gozaisho Ropeway is one of the easiest ways to access the summit of Mount Gozaisho. Mount Gozaisho offers beautiful scenery for every season. In spring, you can see azaleas and cherry blossoms, in summer, red dragonflies, in autumn, fall foliage, and in winter, hoarfrost and icefalls. It's a recommended tourist spot for those who want to enjoy different scenery for each season. Please take a look at the beautiful scenery from the ropeway!

Mt. Gozaisho is home to many strange and unique rock formations. Jizo Rock is a popular spot for those seeking success in exams, as it is known for never letting anyone fall. Daikoku Rock, located just before the Mt. Gozaisho Ropeway mountain top park station on the south side, is a large rock standing at 10 meters tall. There are many other unique and mysterious rocks scattered throughout the mountain and its hiking trails, each with its own charm. These rock formations can be found at the foot of Mt. Gozaisho and along its hiking trails, captivating visitors with their distinctive shapes and scenery. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll or take photos while experiencing the natural beauty of these rock formations.

The Miho Ropeway boasts a tower that is particularly noteworthy. This tower, officially named "No. 6 Support Column," stands at an elevation of approximately 943m on Mount Miho and boasts an impressive height of 61m. As a result, it is the tallest tower for the Miho Ropeway in Japan. When it first opened in 1959 (Showa 34), this tower was the same green color as the other towers, but it was repainted white in October 1964 (Showa 39). Like the Tokyo Tower, it was assembled using riveted joints and is worth seeing. When using the Miho Ropeway, you can see this tower, which is Japan's tallest, with ease. Enjoy the beauty of Mount Miho's scenery while experiencing the thrill of an aerial walk.

When purchasing a ticket for the Gozaisho Ropeway, you can obtain a Ropeway Card by requesting one. The front of the card features a photo of each company's gondola, while the back contains basic data such as driving speed, number of support pillars, and ride time. By collecting these cards, you can take advantage of special benefits. The Ropeway Card was created jointly by eight ropeway companies operating in the Chubu region and is now widely spread throughout the country. Be sure to collect these cards and fully enjoy the charm of the ropeway.

We offer a course for those who want to leisurely enjoy the mountains of Gozaisho. Unlike climbing trails, most of the paths are well-maintained promenades, so you can enjoy them with peace of mind in sneakers. A particularly recommended spot is the Fujimi Iwa Observation Deck, where you can see Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. You can also enjoy beautiful views from the observation deck and the Suzuka National Park Monument. Use the Gozaisho Ropeway to spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature in a hot spring resort.
