[2025 Higashikawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Asahidake Ropeway (Updated May)

After a night of rest, we checked out of our hotel room this morning, packed our luggage into the rental car, and set off for our destination, Mount Asahi. After about an hour's drive, we arrived at our destination. There are many free parking spaces in front of the Asahidake Station, and a cable car departs every 15 minutes to take visitors up the mountain. Even before ascending, the sight of the blue sky and white clouds already had us excited. 😎 Taking the cable car up, we were greeted with patches of golden and green colors below us, along with white tree trunks that had already shed their leaves. Upon reaching the summit station, the staff gave a brief introduction on some important points to note for visitors, and we began our journey on Mount Asahi. Since it wasn't winter yet, we didn't see any snow cover, but I could clearly see smoke coming from Mount Asahi. Along the way, there were many crystal-clear ponds, such as Mirror Pond, Couple's Pond, and Sugatami Pond. Every angle was a perfect spot for photos. ✌️ After about two hours, we descended the mountain. On the way down, we saw wetland plants and some frost-covered areas.

Asahidake Ropeway is a convenient way to enjoy Mount Asahidake, the main peak of the Daisetsuzan mountain range in Hokkaido. It takes just 10 minutes to get from Asahidake Onsen at an altitude of 1,100m to Sugatami Station at an altitude of 1,600m! From spring to summer, you can enjoy alpine plants and trekking, in autumn the earliest autumn leaves in Japan, and in winter fantastic snow scenery such as diamond dust and sun pillars. From Sugatami Station, you can enjoy a spectacular panorama and a variety of walking courses such as Sugatami Pond. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: It can carry up to 101 people and runs every 15 to 20 minutes, so you can enjoy the great outdoors at your own pace. Even if you're not a climber, you can easily enjoy the majesty of the mountains! You can also enjoy local cuisine at the restaurants in Asahidake Onsen, making it a perfect base for sightseeing and climbing!
