Hakkaisan Ropeway八海山ロープウェー
This ropeway can be found at Muikamachi Hakkaisan Ski Resort, approximately 20 minutes by car from the Kan-etsu Expressway's Muikamachi Interchange. 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.

Review of Mt. Hakkai Ropeway
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating天気が良ければ、佐渡や北アルプスを見ることができ、素晴らしい景色を愉しめそうです。生憎の薄曇りでしたが、あれが佐渡であろうと微かに望めました。
紅葉シーズンがよさそうな感じでした。
