How difficult is the Mount Misen summit hike?

The hike from the ropeway station to the Mount Misen summit Observatory is steep and physically demanding. Close-toed shoes are required. Guests who prefer not to hike may remain at the Shishiiwa Observatory near the ropeway station. Guests may also turn back at any point during the ascent.

Is the ropeway suitable for all guests?

The ropeway reaches a significant elevation with aerial views of the island. Guests with a fear of heights or relevant health conditions should contact the tour operator before booking.

Lunch is not included. Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes of free time is provided on Omotesando Shopping Street, where restaurants and food stalls are available.

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Close-toed shoes are required for the summit hike. In summer, lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and water are advised. In winter, multiple layers are essential as temperatures at the Mount Misen summit can drop below freezing.

What happens if part of the itinerary is unavailable on the day?

If any part of the itinerary cannot proceed as scheduled, the tour operator will arrange a suitable alternative and inform guests as early as possible.
