Daisetsuzan Sounkyo Kurodake Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Kamikawa, Japan.
The Daisetsuzan Sounkyo Kurodake Ropeway extends 1.6 kilometers across Daisetsuzan National Park, reaching an elevation of 629 meters with a gradient of 29 degrees.
This transportation system opened in 1967 to connect Sounkyo Hot Spring Resort with Mount Kurodake's fifth station at 1,300 meters elevation in Hokkaido.
The ropeway provides access to seasonal Japanese activities including spring cherry blossom viewing, summer hiking, autumn leaf observation, and winter skiing.
Visitors can reach the ropeway station by taking a 30-minute bus ride from JR Kamikawa Station, with operating hours from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM throughout most of the year.
Following the closure of Wakkanai Koen Ropeway in 2006, this installation maintains its position as the northernmost aerial lift system in Japan.
