Kankakei in Shodoshima is one of the three largest valleys in Japan. Every autumn, it becomes a great place to enjoy the autumn leaves. The Kanxiaxi Cable Car is one of the best ways to view the red leaves. The cable car starts from the Hongyun Pavilion Station at the foot of the mountain and slowly climbs to the top of the mountain. Along the way, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire valley. The cable car ride takes about 5 minutes, but in this short time, you can enjoy the layers of red leaves and the Seto Inland Sea in the distance, forming a beautiful natural picture. The red leaves of Kanxia Creek are rich in colors, including bright red, orange, yellow and gold, which contrast beautifully with the strange rocks and stones, making people linger. In addition to the cable car, you can also choose to hike down the mountain. There are many trails along the way, where you can experience the beauty of nature up close. The red leaf season at Kankakei is usually from early to late November, and it is a must-see for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers.

📍Address: There are various ways to get to Kankakei. You can take a ferry from Kobe Port, Himeji Port or Takamatsu Port to Shodoshima, and then transfer to the island's sightseeing bus or taxi to Kankakei Cable Car Station. Take the cable car from Hongyunting Station to the top of the mountain. The cable car runs approximately every 12 minutes.

💰Per capita consumption: The ticket price for the Kanxiaxi Cable Car varies according to the season. Generally speaking, a one-way fare for an adult is about 1,050 yen, and a round-trip fare is about 1,890 yen.
