Matsuyamajōzan Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Matsuyama, Japan.

The Matsuyamajōzan Ropeway spans 327 meters in length and rises 62 meters in elevation, connecting the base station to Mount Katsuyama's summit.

The aerial tramway began its operations in January 1955 and received its official inauguration on August 7 of the same year, marking a new era of accessibility.

The cabins of the ropeway system incorporate design elements that reference traditional Edo period transportation vehicles used in Japanese society.

The ropeway system accommodates 35 passengers per cabin and moves at a speed of 3.6 meters per second between Shinonome-guchi and Chōjaganaru stations.

In February 2024, the ropeway introduced its sixth generation of cabins, featuring enlarged windows that enhance the viewing experience during transit.
