What other travelers are saying about Nihondaira Observation Deck & Ropeway
The Nihondaira Ropeway is a fun ride. It is pretty busy even though we were there on a weekday. It looks and feels classical, but it has good maintenance. The workers are very friendly and are doing their jobs very well. The ropeway feels safe and well-kept. The Nihondaira Ropeway is one of the famous tourist attractions. But I don't think I will be there again next time.

Riding the Ropeway is very fun and scenic. The views are fantastic!
It was very crowded and took 30+ minutes to get on the Ropeway to go down to the shrine and then another 30+ minute wait to get back up. The gondola you ride in is very crowded.
it's the only way to visit the shrine. only about 5mins journey that went through the mountains and valley, great scenic view. the operator gave a brief introduction to the places throughout the journey. the cable car is spacious and could carry i think 20 people? it wasn't a busy time when i got there so could move freely in the car and watched around like 360 degree. very pleasant journey.
I dont like heights but this was a lovely scenic ride. The temples at the other end are so very beautiful. It's absolutely worth visiting. Highly recommend.
If you are planning to visit Kunozan Toshoku, you may need to go thru this ropeway. The ropeway usually takes almost 10-20 minutes. And only the cable car is running. However, not too many people, so it is spacy and comfy. The price of the around ticket is pretty expensively, in my opinion. However, I strongly recommend going to visit Kunozan if you come to visit Nihondaira.
