Japan Hakuba Tsugaike Highland Cable Car

#Cable car Tsugaike Plateau is a great place for hiking in the summer and a famous ski resort in the winter. Taking the cable car up and down the mountain is a very comfortable trip. Starting from Tsugaike Plateau, you need to take two types of cable cars, and the scenery is super beautiful. It also feels like taking a cable car in Switzerland. The first is a small cable car like the Jiu Zu Cable Car. Because there are few tourists, our family can take a car by ourselves. It takes about 20 minutes, and then we walk a short distance to change to a large cable car and continue to ride for about 7 minutes. Tsugaike's Gondola box cable car (large cable car) is 4,120 meters long and is one of the longest cable car lines in Japan. There were staff members on the large cable car giving explanations. Although they were speaking Japanese and I couldn't understand them, I knew they were explaining the ecology of nearby plants. The most special thing was the many purple cones on the treetops. I checked and it should be the purple cones of fir. We went to Tsugaike Nature Park on Tsugaike Plateau, where you can enter for free with your cable car ticket. The park is really ecologically rich, with many flowers blooming in summer.
