Usuzan Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Sobetsu, Japan.
The Usuzan Ropeway connects visitors to Mount Usu's summit through a 1.3-kilometer cable system that rises 353 meters in vertical elevation.
The ropeway system began operations in January 1965 as part of the transportation infrastructure development within the Shikotsu-Toya National Park region.
The ropeway provides access to observation points where visitors learn about the geological formations and volcanic activities of Mount Usu.
Two cabins transport up to 106 passengers each between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily, with the journey taking approximately six minutes one way.
From the observation deck, passengers observe Lake Toya, the Showa Shinzan volcanic formation, and the central crater of Mount Usu simultaneously.
