Hakone Ropeway

The Hakone Ropeway is an unforgettable ride through the skies, offering jaw-dropping views that will leave you speechless. Imagine being lifted high above the ground, gliding effortlessly over a landscape that seems to stretch on forever. Below, volcanic valleys puff out steam and lakes shimmer in the sunlight while all around you, mountains rise up, creating a panorama that’s nothing short of spectacular.

This ropeway spans over 4 kilometers, connecting Sounzan Station to Togendai Station, with a must-see stop at Owakudani—an active volcanic valley where the earth hisses and bubbles. Here, you can gaze down at the dramatic landscape and maybe even try the famous black eggs, a local delicacy that’s believed to add years to your life.

But the real star of the show? Mount Fuji. On a clear day, you can see its iconic peak towering over everything, a sight that’s as majestic as it gets. The ropeway’s glass-bottomed cabins take the experience to another level, giving you a view straight down to the ground, making it feel like you’re floating through the air.
