Daisetsuzan Sounkyo Kurodake Ropeway

A 7-minute aerial walk to the fifth station of Mt. You can also take a 15-minute lift ride to the seventh station to feel the wind in your face.

This ropeway connects the Sounkyo Hot Spring Resort to the fifth station (1,300m) of Mt. Kurodake, a peak 1,984m high. You can enjoy Kurodake in every season: fresh greenery and Chishima-zakura cherry blossoms in spring, alpine flora and fauna in summer, autumn leaves and mountain climbing in fall, and skiing and snowshoeing in winter. Around Kurodake Station, there is a 30-minute walking path where you can enjoy a walk while admiring the lovely alpine plants. The path leads to an observatory, where you can see the summit, and a museum. If you take the chair lift up to the seventh station (1520m), you can enjoy the natural scenery that can be seen during the ride up, and an even more majestic panorama than the fifth station. If you have the time, why not take a detour?
