Kurumayama Panorama Lift
A four-person lift which travels to the top of Mt. Kurumayama, the highest peak of Mt. Kirigamine, which is itself included in the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains list. Reaching the peak 1,925 meters above sea level requires a 15 minute journey and transferring between two lifts which travel a total vertical distance of 350 meters. Unlike a ropeway or cable car, the lift just has a single safety bar keeping you in place, and thus riders can experience the area's spectacular scenery unobstructed while being caressed by highland winds. From the top of the mountain, visitors can take in the Yatsugatake Mountains, the Japan Alps, the Asama Mountain Range, and distant Mt. Fuji. Be aware that there are no toilets at the summit.
