【Gifu. Shinhotaka Ropeway

The Shinhotaka Ropeway is located in the Shin-Hotaka Onsen area of ​​Okuhida Onsen-go, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture.

It is a highly recommended and classic itinerary for tourists to Gifu. It is recommended to take a bus from Gifu "Takayama" and pass by "Hirayu Onsen".

Take the cable car to the observation deck at Nishihotakaguchi Station on the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the Northern Alps, including Nishihotaka-dake, Yarigake, and Kasa-dake.

It is especially recommended to visit in winter when you can enjoy the snow scenery, but many people also choose to visit in autumn to enjoy the maple leaves.

To reach the top of the mountain, you must take two cable cars. The "Second Cable Car" is the only cable car in Japan that is designed with double-decker cabins.

I really strongly recommend the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway. If you come to central Japan in winter, in addition to visiting Gassho Village, the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway is definitely a must-see attraction that will leave you with memories.
