Akechidaira Ropeway

The Akechidaira Ropeway in Nikko is a must-experience attraction, offering some of the most spectacular views in the region. This ropeway carries you up the Akechidaira Plateau, where you’re met with an incredible panorama that includes Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji, and the surrounding mountains. The ride itself is short, but every moment is filled with anticipation as the landscape unfolds beneath you.

At the top, the observation deck offers a 360-degree view that changes with the seasons. In autumn, the scene is breathtaking, with fiery reds and oranges blanketing the mountains. The view of Kegon Falls cascading down amidst this vibrant foliage is unforgettable. In spring and summer, the lush green forests create a calming backdrop, while winter transforms the area into a snow-covered wonderland, where even the falls can freeze into a glittering cascade.
