Mount Tsukuba Ropeway

The Mount Tsukuba Ropeway extends for 1.296 kilometers across the mountainside, utilizing two track cables and two haulage ropes for passenger transportation.

The Mount Tsukuba Ropeway began its operations on August 11, 1965, introducing Swiss engineering technology to enhance mountain accessibility in Ibaraki Prefecture.

The aerial tramway provides access to Mount Tsukuba, which holds deep connections to Japanese mythology through its twin peaks and local religious sites.

The system operates at 5 meters per second, accommodating 70 passengers per cabin with a journey duration of 6 minutes from base to summit.

The ropeway functions as part of the Tsukuba Kankō Railway network, which manages additional transportation services, hotels, and restaurants in the region.
