Nasu Ropeway

Nasu Ropeway, Aerial tramway at Mount Nasu, Japan.

Description

Nasu Ropeway is an aerial tramway on Mount Nasu that rises from a lower station to a higher one on the mountainside. The ride offers expansive views across the valleys and surrounding peaks while providing direct access to hiking trails on the upper slopes.

History

The ropeway opened in 1962 and established a direct route to the higher sections of the mountain range. This transportation link made the upper slopes accessible to visitors who might not otherwise attempt the lengthy climb on foot.

Culture

Local silk production traditions in Nasu Town complement the natural attractions, with textile demonstrations available throughout the region.

Practical

Visitors can begin several hiking trails directly from the upper station, with routes available for various skill levels. Warmer clothing is advisable since temperatures are noticeably cooler at higher elevations than in the lower areas.

Did you know?

From the upper station, visitors on clear days can observe an active volcanic crater with visible steam and gas releasing into the air. The short walk to the crater rim reveals the geological forces actively at work beneath the mountain.
