御荘湾ロープウェイ, Aerial tramway in Ainan, Japan

The Uchinoumi Ropeway extends across 1.6 kilometers of cable line, offering transportation over the waters of Uchinoumi Bay in Ehime Prefecture.

The aerial transport system began operations on August 10, 1977, and continued its service until March 31, 2006, when it closed due to road infrastructure changes.

The ropeway served as a central transportation link for local residents while providing visitors with views of the mountainous landscapes and marine environment.

The journey between stations lasted 8 minutes, with each cabin accommodating four passengers for trips between the base and summit stations in Ainan.

This transportation system earned recognition as the only aerial tramway in Japan that crossed directly over ocean waters during its operational period.
