A 125-passenger large gondola that reaches the 334-meter summit of Mt. Hakodate in about 3 minutes, where you can enjoy scenery and night views throughout the four seasons.

Boarding the large gondola advancing at 7 meters per second, you reach the 334-meter summit of Mt. Hakodate in about 3 minutes. From the gondola's large windows, the cityscape of Hakodate spreading below gradually becomes smaller, and you can view up close the green and rock surfaces of mountain slopes approaching on both sides. In spring, pale pink cherry blossoms are scattered, in summer, a deep green forest spreads, in autumn, flaming autumn leaves color the mountain, and in winter, a snow-dressed silver world appears. The changing scenery as you ascend and the blue water surface of the Tsugaru Strait visible in the distance create a special time of aerial stroll.

Upon reaching the summit, you can overlook the unique topography created by seas on both sides sandwiching Hakodate's urban area. During the day, enjoy the harmony of cityscape and nature spreading under the blue sky, and at night, the Hakodate night view, praised as one of the world's three great night views where street lights shine like jewels, spreads before you. At the observatory, you can spend luxurious time gazing at the carpet of glittering lights below while feeling the cold wind. With barrier-free facilities, anyone can experience the spectacular view from Mt. Hakodate.
