Bizan Ropeway, Aerial tramway on Mount Bizan in Tokushima, Japan.
Description
Bizan Ropeway is an aerial tramway on Mount Bizan in Tokushima that uses dual cabins to transport passengers from the base to the summit. The route covers approximately 290 meters of vertical rise and provides views of the city and Naruto Strait during the ascent.
History
This ropeway opened in December 1957 and has remained the primary way to reach Mount Bizan's summit since then. It transformed how people could access the mountain and its views.
Culture
The summit station serves as a gathering place where visitors enjoy panoramic views and learn about local plants and wildlife through displays. People come here to escape the bustle of the city below and take in the broader landscape.
Practical
The ride from the base to the summit takes about six minutes and is accessible for visitors of varying fitness levels. Clear weather days offer the best visibility for enjoying the views during your visit.
Did you know?
The view from the mountain shifts dramatically with the seasons, with cherry blossoms painting the city below in spring while autumn turns the trees deep red and gold. These seasonal color shifts make return visits at different times of year worthwhile.
