The Shinhotaka Ropeway in Okuhida is a must-visit for stunning views of the Northern Alps. With its double decker gondola cars, it offers a unique experience as it climbs over 1000 meters up the Hotake Mountain Range. The lower station connects to Hirayu Onsen and Takayama Station by bus, making it convenient to access. Don't miss the observation deck at the upper station for breathtaking mountain vistas and hiking trails in the warmer months. They also offer shorter walks through the snow in the winter months.

There are a bunch of hiking trails that start from here that can be as short as you like or as long as a few weeks if you were to make your way north to the Sea of Japan.
