From the Nita pass parking lot, there is a ropeway to Mt. Myokendake, with an elevation of 1333m, providing easy access.
The view that expands underneath you while walking at 1300m above sea level is extraordinary.
With a difference in elevation of about 174m, and at a distance of about 500m, the ropeway connects Nita pass station to Mt. Myokendake station in about 3 minutes.
The cars come equipped with large windows so that you can see near your feet, and operate on a triple rope system.
