Miyajima Ropeway

Other Vehicle

4.0

A ropeway connecting Shishiiwa Station at the top of the sacred mountain (Mt. Misen) with Momijidani Station at the foot of the mountain, in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Mt. Misen is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Itsukushima Shrine. There are still so many things to see here, such as the untouched natural primeval forest, amazing rock formations, shrines and temples, as well as an observation deck. Passengers can enjoy magnificent views of the natural scenery and deep blue sea down below from inside the gondolas. The journey time takes approximately 14 minutes. The mid-way Kayatani Station is used only for transfers so passengers cannot get off here.

The ropeway is a good choice to buy time (almost 2 hours) if you do not want to stress up hiking all the way to the top (observatory). If you start early, you could complete the mountain top and the...
Rude refusal from staff member to allow us to travel in a separate cable car

On the way down at the half way point, the staff member crammed us into the cable car with a random group despite a polite request (in basic Japanese) to be kept separated, adamantly refusing to...

Highly recommend it. Feels very adventurous and you get unbelievable views at the top. I traveled in July 2019 before the pandemic.
