Mt. Usu Ropeway
A Ropeway Offering Stunning Views from Lake Toya to Mt. Yotei
Departing from the Sanroku Station in the Volcano Village at the foot of Mt. Showa Shinzan, the journey takes about 6 minutes. How about an aerial stroll while taking in the mountain range of Mt. Usu, Mt. Showa Shinzan, Lake Toya, and even Mt. Yotei in your view? In autumn, the entire area is dyed in vibrant autumn foliage, further enhancing the beauty of the scenery. From the Sancho Station (summit station), the "Crater Plain Observatory" is about a 7-minute walk. Furthermore, you can enjoy a stroll to the Ginnuma Crater and the Mt. Usu Outer Rim Crater Observatory while viewing Mt. O-Usu, Mt. Ko-Usu, and Mt. Showa Shinzan.
*Please note that the Outer Rim Mountain Trail is closed during the winter months (November to April).
