The Minobusan Ropeway offers a scenic and efficient way to reach the summit of Mount Minobu (1,153m), providing breathtaking views and a serene experience. Starting next to the famous Kuonji Temple, the ropeway connects Kuonji Station at the base to Oku-no-In Station at the summit in just 7 minutes, making it an ideal choice for those who wish to bypass the challenging hike.

The mountain is also famous for being pet-friendly.

Hours: 9:00 - 16:00 (last down train 16:40)

Access:
