Otaru Tengyama Ropeway

The Otaru Tenguyama Ropeway carries passengers on a 4-minute journey from the base station to the summit of Mount Tengu, offering views of the Sea of Japan.

The aerial lift system opened in January 1979 to provide transportation access to the mountain peak and connect visitors to the Otaru Tenguyama Ski Resort.

From the observation platforms at the summit station, visitors observe traditional fishing boats in Otaru Bay while learning about the maritime heritage of Hokkaido.

The ropeway operates daily from 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at 1,140 yen and child tickets at 570 yen for a round trip.

During winter months, the ropeway serves as the main access point to multiple ski runs, with night operations providing views of city lights reflecting on the snow.
