Hakkōda Ropeway, Aerial tramway in Aomori, Japan

The Hakkōda Ropeway stretches 2.5 kilometers across the mountains, ascending 650 meters to reach the summit of Mount Tamoyachi in northern Japan.

Construction of the ropeway system began in December 1964, with its official inauguration taking place in October 1968 to provide mountain access.

The ropeway facilitates winter sports from November to May, while local residents gather during autumn to observe the transformation of maple leaves.

Visitors can purchase round-trip tickets for 2000 yen, with the journey lasting 10 minutes each way between the base and summit stations.

The cable car system accommodates 101 passengers per cabin and operates at a speed of 5 meters per second on a 25-degree gradient.
