The Biwako Valley Ropeway is a tourist spot that overlooks Lake Biwa, which is a source of pride for Shiga Prefecture. The view from the gondola as it leisurely ascends is indescribably beautiful. Immerse yourself in the scenery that cannot be experienced from the ground.
The ropeway connects the ground to the mountain top station at an altitude of 373 meters. The approximately 1.3 km aerial walk through the fresh air and the grand panorama of Lake Biwa will be a memorable experience that leaves a lasting impression. The gentle swaying of the gondola and the slight vibrations at the connection points of the pillars also add a sense of excitement.
At the mountaintop, there are athletic facilities where even children can move around safely and feel close to nature. Adults can enjoy the great panoramic view from the observation deck or take a short hiking course. In the midst of nature, the whole family can find activities to enjoy together.
Purchasing tickets in advance on the official website will save you a considerable amount of money. With the QR code, you can smoothly board the ropeway and avoid queues at the site. Precious memories worth more than the price await you at the Biwako Valley Ropeway.
