Otaru Tenguyama Ropeway
Various ways to enjoy! Spectacular view of Otaru City
Tenguyama, located about a 15-minute drive from the city center, is a symbolic presence cherished by the citizens of Otaru. The ropeway ride to the 532.4-meter summit takes about 4 minutes, offering an aerial stroll with nostalgic views of Otaru's townscape from the base. As you ascend, the city of Otaru opens up like a miniature garden, and from near the summit, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Otaru Port, Ishikari Bay, and on clear days, the Shokanbetsu Mountain Range and Shakotan Peninsula. The five observation decks at the summit offer a variety of scenic views, making it a popular spot. It has also earned a one-star rating in the Michelin Green Guide Japan as a spectacular viewpoint. Additionally, Tenguyama is one of the "Three Great Night Views of Hokkaido," alongside Mt. Hakodate and Mt. Moiwa, where you can enjoy the beautiful night view of Otaru, sparkling like scattered jewels.
At the summit station, you can enjoy both the scenery and meals at "TENGUU CAFE." In winter, the ski resort caters to everyone from beginners to advanced skiers, while in summer, the 400-meter-long "Tenguyama Slider" offers an exhilarating bobsleigh ride. The "Nose-rubbing Tengu," which is said to grant wishes when you rub its long nose, and the "Tenguyama Shrine," dedicated to Sarutahiko Okami, are also considered hidden power spots.
