What other travelers are saying about Akechidaira Observation Area
We drove up to visit Niko City and the lake. Had to stop on the way to visit the top for the view. The cable car trip is short just 2 minutes with cars available every 10mins.
The view on the top is beautiful. Do use the telescope for better appreciation and you can hear the falls! How amazing.
From this point there is very good view fall and lake both , also snow cladding mountain ,rope way ride is. Very short and from top you can see lake and koggen falls clearly ,
For anyone visiting Nikko and looking to enjoy the breathtaking views of Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji, taking the ropeway is highly recommended. As the gondola ascends to the observation point, you’ll be surrounded by stunning views of mountains and forests.
The best time to visit is during the autumn foliage season when the scenery is absolutely spectacular. The ride takes about 5 minutes each way and can accommodate around 20 people per trip, so if it’s crowded, you might have to wait a bit longer.
We were visiting Nikko and have no regret visiting the ropeway. It was so beautiful in the winter. The ticket is discounted by 10% because we have the Nikko Pass All Area. The staffs were all nice and helpful, they stored our luggages for free.
