What other travelers are saying about Mt. Moiwa Ropeway
The Sapporo Mountain Moiwa Ropeway is not just a means of transportation; it's a gateway to a winter wonderland. Especially during the winter months, the sight from atop Mount Moiwa is breathtaking, with snow-covered landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see. As you glide through the air in the cozy gondolas, you'll be treated to panoramic views of Sapporo blanketed in white. It's an experience that truly captures the magic of Hokkaido's snowy paradise.
I admit that I came here to see the view of Sapporo. I went at the evening and the view was amazing. It was really cold as it snowed briefly in the day. There was ice and snow on the ground.
It take two cable cars to get to the top. The first cable car was smooth but the second was kind of rocky. Just to let you know if you choose to go to the top.
I do implore you to go as the view is spectacular.
Be cognizant of the time the cable cars arrive if you have to be down from the mountain to meet your ride.
This is the best attraction in downtown Sapporo you should never miss. Easily get commuted via streetcar and a complimentary bus to the Moiwa Ropeway station . Reasoning Entrance price
Mount Moiwa is a small forrested mountain southwwst of Sapporo. It is popular because of the sightseeing spot of the spectacular view out over the city from an observation deck at the top. We can see a wonderful, colourful and full of beautiful lighting of Sapporo city. The mount Moiwa ropeway climbs from the base of the mountain three quarters up the mountain to a transfer station. Then a mini cablecar travels the rest of the way to the upper station at the summit where there is an observation deck and restaurant with amazing scene views out over the city. There are also a planetarium and theater at the station. The breeze air at top in winter is really something that creates unforgetfull moment at mount Moiwa.
Mount Moiwa is a great thing to do while visiting Sapporo. The ropeway + cable car take about ten minutes each way. Tickets are round trip. There are great photos at the top!
