Details of Gozaisho Ropeway
The Gozaisho Ropeway is the name of a Japanese aerial lift line, as well as its operator. Opened in 1959, the line climbs Mount Gozaisho in Komono, Mie. Riders can see a view of Yokkaichi and Ise Bay. The mountain itself is known for its scenery and Yunoyama Onsen. Wikipedia
Gozaisho Ropeway is one of the must-do activities when visiting Komono in Mie Prefecture. (Mie) Yes. That’s because it is considered an important landmark for a high angle view that is very beautiful and magnificent. The Gozaisho Ropeway runs from the destination to the top of Mt. Gozaisho. At a height of about 1,212 meters, about 2 kilometers, it was raised as Japan’s longest ropeway. Of course, we will be able to see the beautiful scenery of the Lam Nauphai Mountains and strangely shaped cliffs for more than 15 minutes.
Say that if you want to come and see the most beautiful period, you must come during the late autumn leaves. It’s November. Think about how satisfying it would be if you looked anywhere and saw colorful leaves contrasting with the clear sky.
Another period that is equally beautiful is the winter in February when there will be a natural phenomenon where the trees turn into ice (Ice Monster) to be amazing. And when going up to the top of the mountain, there are still many things to see. Whether it is the tallest cable pylon in Japan with a height of 61 meters, it is known as the “White Iron Tower”. Got to find a corner to visit and stop by to take many more pictures The viewpoint on the top of the mountain is unique in that you can see both Mie and Shiga prefectures in one spot.
