Asahidake Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Higashikawa, Japan
The Asahidake Ropeway extends across 2.3 kilometers, connecting Sanroku Station at 1,100 meters to Sugatami Station at 1,600 meters elevation.
Wakasa Resort established this transportation system in 1968 and completed a comprehensive renovation in 2000 to enhance passenger experience.
The ropeway serves as an entry point to observe Japanese alpine plants, which constitute 40 percent of the national high-altitude flora collection.
Visitors can reach the ropeway via the Asahikawa Electric Railway shuttle bus, which connects from JR Asahikawa Station and Asahikawa Airport.
The cabins display current weather information and educational videos about the national park flora in both Japanese and English languages.
