Nestled in the deep mountains of Gifu, this ropeway stands at an altitude of approximately 1500-2100 meters and is the only double-decker ropeway in Japan. To reach Shin-Hotaka, you can take a bus from Takayama Station, which takes about 90 minutes. It is a perfect spot for viewing autumn leaves and frost-covered trees, with the stunning scenery of the Hotaka mountain range surrounding you. Shin-Hotaka is also a famous hot spring area, so consider staying overnight to enjoy the charm of the open-air hot springs. 📍Address: 710-7 Okuhida Onsengo Kansaka, Takayama, Gifu 506-1421 Japan

#Winter travel destination Shinhotaka, visited during a trip near Nagoya!! Since it snows a lot, there is also a ski resort If you take the ropeway all the way up, you can see the snowy mountains from the observation deck!! (I couldn't see the snowy mountains because it was snowing🥲) They sell a lot of food like curry and cocoa at the observation deck cafeteria, so time flies when you play😶 📍Shinhotaka Ropeway

Hida Takayama "Shinhotaka Ropeway"

The Shinhotaka Ropeway is located in the Shin-Hotaka Onsen area of ​​Okuhida Onsen-go, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. It is a highly recommended and classic itinerary for tourists to Gifu. It is recommended to take a bus from Gifu "Takayama" and pass by "Hirayu Onsen". Take the cable car to the observation deck at Nishihotakaguchi Station on the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the Northern Alps, including Nishihotaka-dake, Yarigake, and Kasa-dake. It is especially recommended to visit in winter when you can enjoy the snow scenery, but many people also choose to visit in autumn to enjoy the maple leaves. To reach the top of the mountain, you must take two cable cars. The "Second Cable Car" is the only cable car in Japan that is designed with double-decker cabins. I really strongly recommend the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway. If you come to central Japan in winter, in addition to visiting Gassho Village, the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway is definitely a must-see attraction that will leave you with memories. Business hours 9:30-15:30 (open until 15:00) ※ Subject to change according to season Price Adults 600 yen Children 400 yen Amenity ticket 200 yen Bus ticket 410 yen

It’s hard to imagine that coming to an altitude of 2156 meters even has Hida beef ramen and Hida pork curry rice, the point is that the price of both meals is only 3000 yen, which is really cheap for such a high place. Although the portion is not much, people with large appetites should feel 70% full after eating, but the taste is definitely worth its high mountain price, and can eat at the top of the snow looking at this view, is really great☺️☃️ #overseas travel #Nagoya #famous attractions #high mountains #Japan

The atmosphere is extremely beautiful. #TravelingAbroad

Pushing the window in the morning, Ou Feiyu Hot Spring Township is already white, and the landscape of today's "Xinsui Gao" high-altitude cable car is even more anticipated. The cable car departs at an altitude of 1110 meters and transfers once in the middle. It finally arrives at the observation deck at an altitude of 2,156 meters by the only double-decker cable car in Japan. The beauty of the white Northern Alps is unobstructed here. In addition to admiring the snow-capped mountains, you can also walk into the forest by walking trails, listening to the sounds of your feet and feeling the fairy tale dreams of the white snow country. Olympus's snow quality is very good, white and soft, gently thrown into the air, sparkling, suitable as a photo prop. Take the cable car up to the observation deck at an altitude of more than two kilometers. The snow conditions are from the initial thin layer to the end without the knees. The thicker the upper, the really different. The typhoon is small and the sun is very good, so it is not as cold as it is. So I bought a hat on the previous night. Now I am nervous.
