Mt. Hakodate Ropeway
Enjoy a Relaxing Aerial Stroll with Stunning Views
The large gondolas, each accommodating 125 people, travel at a speed of 7 meters per second, reaching the 334-meter summit of Mt. Hakodate in about 3 minutes. The seasonal views unfolding below the ropeway – cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, autumn foliage, and snow-covered landscapes – are so beautiful they'll undoubtedly elicit gasps of admiration. Operating from 10:00 with the last downhill trip at 22:00 (21:00 from October 1st to April 19th), you can fully appreciate the scenery, from the nature-rich daytime views to the diamond-like sparkling nightscape (barrier-free access, free wheelchair rentals available).
