I think the following structure is good.

Enjoying the Spectacular View above the Clouds ~Ashinomaki Ropeway~

Introduction

The various landscapes created by the nature of Nikko. Among them, the view from the ropeway is exceptional. We will introduce the scenery of floating clouds, waterfalls, and Lake Chuzenji.

The Spectacular View of Mount Nantai Floating in the Sky

Riding the ropeway and standing on the top observatory, you will see the rugged ridges of Mount Nantai piercing through the clouds. During the autumn foliage season, the entire mountain will be dyed in flaming colors, presenting an incomparably beautiful landscape.

Overwhelmed by the Flow of the Waterfall

From the observatory, you can see the Kegon Falls flowing down to Lake Chuzenji right in front of you. The powerful flow and splashing water of the waterfall will make you feel the force of nature.

The Serene Beauty of Lake Chuzenji

In contrast to the grandeur of the waterfall, Lake Chuzenji stands quietly. Surrounded by mountains, this lake reflects the scenery on the water's surface like a mirror, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Please Note the Waiting Time

Ashinomaki Ropeway is visited by many people, especially during the autumn foliage season. It is recommended to take early action and be prepared to wait for a while.

Finally

The spectacular view from Ashinomaki is definitely something you should see with your own eyes. Why don't you visit this place where you can experience the beauty of nature in Nikko?

If the weather isn’t good, the ropeway doesn’t run. From the ropeway, you can see the road you came up on--Iroha-zaka Pass (with its 48 hair-pin curves going up and down the mountain) to your right. You can also enjoy the view of many mountains overlapping one another in the far distance. In the woods below you, you’ll see a river meandering through the trees. It is the Daiya River. After a short 3-minute trip, you’ll arrive at the observation area—a wide-open deck with a 360-degree view. The ropeway runs from 9 AM to 4 PM throughout the year except March 1-15th. The one way fee is 390 yen (child: 190 yen) and the round trip fee is 710 yen (child: 360 yen).

Real beautiful sight very quiet and pleasant experience. There’s a ticket machine and each ticket costs 1000 yen round trip. The view from the deck is amazing. The toilets are clean and the ice cream by the ropeway ticket booths tasted wonderful

Parking at Parking Lot A requires payment. Remember to request complimentary parking validation from the ticket inspector. The cable car fee is a bit expensive, but the small and convenient cable car arrives in about ten minutes, minimizing waiting time. Once you're on the mountain, spending around ten minutes at the viewpoint on the platform is sufficient.

The views from the observation deck were beautiful. That said, we thought the ropeway ride was underwhelming. We expected a 10 or 15 minute ride, but you ride only a minute or two. I'd take a one-way ride instead of the return trip and just hike back down if you are fit and able.

It will cost you 1.500 yen for a two-way ticket (which you have to take as the short ride only leads to the observation platform) and is quite nice as you can see the waterfall and surrounding nature. Tough I have to say it's not the most amazing thing ever, so if you're short on money, you can skip it.
