A one-of-a-kind view, beautifully colored by the four seasons.
The Shinhotaka Ropeway offers not only magnificent views of the sky, but also the ever-changing beauty of each season.

Feel the dynamic beauty of Japan’s four seasons with all five senses.
Beyond the melting snow,
In spring, the mountains that have survived the harsh winter gradually begin to regain their greenery. The snow remaining in the silver world and the newly sprouting greenery create a special gradient unique to this season. In the cool, clear air, feel the arrival of spring with all your senses and enjoy a moment of relaxation that frees your mind.
A refreshing, sky-high retreat.
Even in the height of summer, a refreshing breeze sweeps through the mountains of Shinhotaka, creating a true “sky-high retreat.” The pleasant coolness you can feel only at this altitude and the vibrant life of the lush forests gently soothe the hearts of visitors. The alpine flowers, which bloom to their fullest during the short summer season, are another highlight. Escape the hustle and bustle below and enjoy a moment of summer that makes you want to breathe deeply and simply unwind.
Crimson hues between sky and mountain.
The mountains of the Northern Alps are beautifully adorned in vibrant autumn colors. The foliage usually reaches its peak around mid-October, when the slopes seen from the ropeway are painted in fiery reds and brilliant yellows, creating a breathtaking panorama. During this season’s crisp, clear days, you can also enjoy the striking contrast of snow-capped peaks and colorful autumn leaves from the observation deck.
Enveloped in silence,
In winter, the area transforms into a magical world blanketed in snow. The majestic peaks of the Northern Alps, dressed in white, create breathtaking scenery that looks like a painting, offering a truly special winter experience found only here.
