Maya Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Nada-ku, Japan
The Maya Ropeway extends across 856 meters with a vertical interval of 222 meters, connecting passengers between two stations in the Mount Maya region.
The Maya Cable system initiated operations in 1925, experienced closure during World War II, and reopened in 1955 with the introduction of new passenger cars.
Mount Maya transportation systems serve as a central connection point for residents and visitors exploring the mountain trails and observation points of Kobe.
The aerial tramway operates with two cabins simultaneously, each accommodating 29 passengers for a 5-minute journey at 3.6 meters per second.
The system incorporates three separate cables and functions with a 75-kilowatt three-phase motor to maintain consistent operation across the mountainous terrain.
