Harunasan Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Harunako-machi, Japan
The Harunasan Ropeway stretches across 527 meters with a vertical interval of 269 meters, connecting two stations while moving at 4 meters per second.
The aerial tramway's construction started in 1929, but the official inauguration occurred in 1958, making it one of the early mountain transportation systems in Japan.
Mount Haruna, accessed by the ropeway, contains several traditional Japanese shrines that demonstrate local religious practices and mountain worship traditions.
Each cabin accommodates 15 passengers and completes the journey between Haruna-Kogen Station and Harunafuji-Sancho Station in approximately three minutes.
The 1996 renovation introduced a system of two smaller cabins that improved the efficiency of transportation while maintaining the original route's characteristics.
