    Nigata Pref. Nishikambaragunyahikomura Yahiko 2898
    This ropeway runs approximately one kilometer from behind Yahiko Shrine to the summit of Mt. Yahiko. It is a ten-minute walk from Yahiko Shrine to the base station, and there is also a free shuttle bus between the two. The ropeway was opened in 1958. The summit station can be reached in approximately five minutes, and a majestic view of the Echigo Plains and the mountains can be seen in the distance as you climb the mountain. Additionally, in the summer, there is a Yakei and Hoshizora Cruise (Night View and Starry Sky Cruise) available for people to enjoy watching the sun set over the Sea of Japan and to see the vast Echigo Plains at night. The ropeway is the perfect place to watch the sun setting beyond the Japanese sea and also to see the night view of the Echigo Plains. And in the fall, the autumn leaves cover the mountains, giving the ropeway gorgeous scenery in every season.

    We took the bus in the park to the ropeway kiosk, bought our tickets just in time to catch the next carriage up to the top. Spectacular views across Yahiko and beyond. We didn’t stay to long at the...

Its charm lies in the 360-degree panoramic view from the gondola. Especially in the fall, it is a well-known sightseeing spot for people wanting to see the autumn leaves, which cover the whole mountainside. The ropeway stretches from the station at the foot of the mountain at an elevation of 376 meters, to the mountain peak station at 1,147 meters. In the mountain climbing season, it is also possible to climb to the peak of Mt. Hakkai, one of Echigo's three peaks.

    １1月５日に行きました。昨日の寒波で頂上駅は１５センチほど雪が残り、おかげで紅葉と雪が一緒に見られラッキーでした。 なお、車椅子でもゴンドラには問題なく乗れますが、駅構内の平な場所しか移動はできません。

    越後湯沢駅を出て、数分、北へ向かって歩く。 すると、湯沢高原ロープウェイの山麓駅がある。 ここから、ロープウェイに乗れる。 ぐんぐん上がってゆくロープウェイの窓から、越後湯沢駅や湯沢町の中心街がよく見える。 それから、窓から綺麗な木々の葉も見える。 眺めを楽しんでいるうちに、山の上にある駅に着く。 駅の近くからは、遠くの雪山が見える。ここは絶景が楽しめる。 眺めが良く、良い思い出が残った
