Tairyūji Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Naka and Anan, Japan

The Tairyūji Ropeway extends across 2.7 kilometers with two track cables and two haulage ropes, reaching a maximum elevation of 508 meters.

The construction of this transportation system was completed in 1992, establishing a direct connection to the mountain temple of Tairyū-ji.

This aerial lift carries visitors to Tairyū-ji, the twenty-first temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, an important Buddhist circuit on Shikoku island.

The ropeway operates every twenty minutes, accommodating up to 101 passengers per cabin for the ten-minute journey between March and November from 7:20 AM.

The system features a steep thirty-degree gradient and stands as the longest ropeway in western Japan, offering views of the Naka River valley.
