What other travelers are saying about Akechidaira Ropeway
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.
Upon completed the visit to the ancient temples in Nikko, you can spend a couple of hours to move to akechidaira ropeway by bus (half an hour), you will have nice view of the falls once on the top (short trip). Dragonfly will welcome you.
Relatively good for a ropeway. The station is a bit old but it is beautifully preserved and still functional. It has an Eki Stamp, the engineer will provide the stamp after your trip. The view from the top is amazing, you can see the Kegon Waterfalls and a village nearby.
A round-trip ticket typically costs around 750 yen for adults and 380 yen for children. One-way tickets are also available at a lower price.
The ropeway is generally accessible, but the observation deck at the top has some stairs, which may present a challenge for those with mobility issues.
The ropeway is open during winter, but operations may be affected by snow and icy conditions. It’s important to check for any closures due to weather before planning your visit.
There are no significant restrictions, but large groups or those with large luggage might find it challenging due to limited space in the cable cars.
