[2025 Takayama Attraction] Travel Guide for Shin-Hotaka Ropeway (Updated Apr)

Shinhotaka Ropeway and Snow Forest ❄️ If you have a chance to go to Takayama in winter, I would like to recommend adding a plan to go here. The snow is so fluffy 🌨️☃️ It is so beautiful. You can see the Japan Alps very clearly 🏔️ For those who want this view, I recommend checking the forecast on a day when it does not snow. The sky is clear. The ropeway has 2 stations. The first station is a normal ropeway and the second station is a 2-story ropeway, the only one in Japan. ✨🚠 The entrance fee can be bought online from the website or you can buy it at the ropeway station. Prepare warm clothes because it is very cold up there, -7 degrees. 🥶🥶 Traveling to the ropeway by private car is the easiest way. The road is easy to drive on. There is a parking lot near the ropeway station. 🚖🚘 Or if you don't rent a car, there is a bus from Takayama city to here. #TravelJapan

Shinhotaka Ropeway 🚠⛰️❄️It is the only double-decker gondola in Japan that will take us to see the scenery on top of Mount Hotaka, the Japan Alps, which is the third highest mountain in Japan. The highest point is Mount Okuhotakadake, 3,190 meters above sea level. ❄️🚠⛰️The highlight of this place is the highest level, Nishihotakaguchi Station, at 2,156 meters above sea level. In winter, Shinhotaka is full of white, like something out of a fairy tale. Whether it's the view from the gondola or the view from the mountain, it's incredibly beautiful. Every angle is beautiful. 📍 Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan 🚆 Bus Takayama - Shinhotaka 💵 Adults 3,300 yen/person #WinterTravel

#2024TravelReview There is the only double-decker cable car in Japan, which takes you to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2,156 meters. When the sky is clear, you can see the Japanese Alps in the distance. Although the outlook is not good when it snows, the scenery along the trail is very beautiful! The big trees on both sides are covered with layers of snow. Walking on the snowy road really makes you feel like you are in a fairy tale world. The observatory here also has a cute mailbox on the top of the mountain. If you want to walk on the trail when it snows, it is recommended to wear waterproof clothing and non-slip shoes. Otherwise, some places are still quite slippery and it will be very difficult to walk. Then remember to wear gloves or your fingers will be super cold~~ #Shinhotaka #Shinhotaka Cable Car #Japan Alps

🚠Shihotaka Ropeway, the only 2-story ropeway in Japan. Another place worth going to hunt for red leaves in late October. Because you will get to ride the only 2-story ropeway in Japan. See the view of the mountain peaks full of beautiful yellow, orange, and red leaves. 🏔️🍁🍂 The Shinhotaka Ropeway has 2 sections: •No.1 ropeway is a small ropeway from Shin-Hotaka Onsen Station to Nabedairakogen Station. It takes 4 minutes. After getting off the No.2 ropeway, walk from Nabedairakogen Station to Shirakabadaira Station. The station is a very beautiful photo spot, both in front of the station and on the 2nd floor. On the side of the station, there is a free foot bath while enjoying the view of the red leaves. We liked it so much that we sat there for so long that our feet were sore. In addition, around the station, there is a 2.3-kilometer Nabedairakogen hiking trail for you to walk around and enjoy the red leaves. If anyone has time left, I recommend going for a leisurely walk. •No.2 ropeway: Take a double-decker ropeway, the only one in Japan that can hold up to 120 people, from Shirakabadaira Station to Nishihotakaguchi Station, taking 7 minutes. There is a great viewpoint at the top. 🚗 Travel Since we stayed at Hirayu Onzen, traveling was very easy. We took the bus from Hirayu Onzen Station for only 1 hour. The bus stops in front of the ropeway station. Train fare ¥690/person/way Ropeway fare ¥3000/round trip For anyone who has been there or is planning to travel, please comment to talk or ask for more details. ☺️ #tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี #Japan #เที่ยวญี่ปุ่น #เที่ยวญี่ปุ่นเดียว

The Japanese Alps, located near Kamikochi, offer a fantastic viewpoint for those who wish to experience the breathtaking scenery of Mount Hotaka and the surrounding area from a high vantage point. By taking the Shin Hotaka Ropeway during the winter season, you can witness the mountains covered in pristine white snow. It's an awe-inspiring experience and well worth the travel time to get there.

The snow scenery of Shinhotaka was amazing!! Shinhotaka Ropeway in Okuhida Onsenkyo, Chubu Sangaku National Park❤️ The way there was a little difficult, but we were able to enjoy the scenery that looked like something out of a movie🎬(^^) The beautiful panoramic view is apparently given two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan!! The Shinhotaka Ropeway is a two-story gondola, and it's the only place in Japan where you can ride a two-story gondola✨ It was also nice that there was a free foot bath on the way☺️✌️ #Snowscape2024

Since we went all the way to Takayama, we enjoyed the Alps to the fullest⛰️ We met a woman at the hot spring and we were from the same hometown, so we talked about various things. Her husband said that the ropeway here is amazing, so we came here, so we tagged along too! It took about 20-30 minutes by car! The roads weren't too crowded, so we got there smoothly! However, we had to line up a lot to buy the ropeway ticket and to get on the ropeway! It seems that you need to take two ropeways from the bottom, but we only had to take one because we went up halfway by car! The ropeway can carry about 100 people, and it runs once every 15 minutes, but we got on the third one when we arrived, so we waited about 45 minutes to get on😳 It was so beautiful when we were riding up, and I really thought it was great that we came! I'm grateful for the encounter at the hot spring😊 🕰️Business hours: 8:30-16:00 📍Address: 710-7 Kamisaka, Okuhida Onsengo, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture 506-1421 #FuriTabi

#japantrip 📍Shinhotaka Ropeway, Takayama, Gifu, Japan Visited this winter wonderland, Shinhotaka Ropeway located in Gifu prefecture of Japan. We were there during winter and were very lucky to have good weather on the day. The panoramic scenery was simple stunning and mesmerising with the alps, snowy mountains surrounding, frozen trees, and canyon views. The gondola uphill was kind of shaky but it was alright, definitely worth the visit. Besides taking touristy photos at the observatory deck, we spent some of our time playing with the snow at the park outside the observatory and also went for the free onsen where visitors can soak their feet in the public onsen pool. It was such a fun filled experience here! Would recommend!

Shin-hotaka is not difficult to get to, just take a bus from Takayama to the end of the line. It is worth coming. I didn't think it would be this beautiful. The cable car is comfortable. The viewpoint at the top has toilets and food, and you can go outside to play in the snow.

When you visit central Japan in winter, in addition to enjoying the classic World Heritage Gassho Village, you definitely can't miss the stunning snow scenery presented by the Shinhotaka Ropeway! Take this unique double-decker cable car and climb to the Nishihotakadake Observation Deck at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. You will be brought into a magnificent and beautiful snowy landscape with a 360-degree panoramic view. Shinhotaka is famous for its changing scenery with each season. In summer, the mountains are green and picturesque; in autumn, the red leaves are layered and beautiful; in winter, the snowy scenery is majestic and magnificent. Each area has its own unique features! In addition, during certain dates in summer and autumn, you can enjoy the starry sky at night, and in winter, you can enjoy the wonderful scenery of the Snow Corridor. The Shinhotaka Ropeway not only gives travelers a stunning sight, but also an extraordinary experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the magnificence and magic of nature. Whether you're gazing up at the starry sky or gazing at the silver-clad world, this journey will bring you unforgettable memories. ---------------------------------------------------- Sign up to become a Trip.com member, there are so many benefits, upgrade to diamond membership can earn an extra 40% Trip coins!!!

The only 2-story gondola in Japan that is still covered in snow, even though the temperature is starting to rise. We can walk down below along the marked paths, but the obstacle might be the snow that is still overflowing. Many places are stepped on tightly, making it slippery. Bring some snow picks in your shoes, it should help a lot because it looks like the new snow won't fall anymore.

Traveling to Japan during the snowy season is so beautiful! #discoveryourownjapan #Shinhotakaropeway #shirakawago #fuji #japan

Shinhotaka Ropeway You can play in the snow!!!!🚐🫶🏻 In the fall, every city, every place in Japan is full of red leaves. Nowhere has snow, even though it's very cold, the temperature is below zero. But, but, but, you can play here. The snow is very thick and presses up very high.🚠 It's a very beautiful place. You can see pine trees with snow on top of them. And we get a view of the city below, which is the changing leaves. And above, it's snow. Is it worth it? I want to go again.🚃🪐 #Flying to Hong Kong
