Kurodake Ropeway

The Kurodake Ropeway, located in the heart of Hokkaido's Daisetsuzan National Park, offers a spectacular journey into the sky, providing visitors with unparalleled access to one of Japan's most majestic mountain landscapes. This ropeway is your gateway to the peaks of Mount Kurodake, where the beauty of the natural world unfolds in an awe-inspiring panorama.

Boarding the ropeway, you'll be lifted from the Sounkyo Gorge base, ascending through layers of dense forest before breaking above the treeline to reveal sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The experience is transformative, offering a unique perspective on the park's diverse ecosystems and the changing seasons that paint the landscape in a myriad of colors.

At the upper station, situated at an impressive altitude, you're not just a spectator but a participant in the mountain's life. From here, you can embark on hikes ranging from leisurely walks to challenging treks, each offering a different view of Daisetsuzan's rugged terrain. In winter, the area becomes a paradise for skiers and snowboarders, with the ropeway providing easy access to pristine, powdery slopes.
