Ryuoh Ropeway

An air trip with spectacular views

The world’s largest ropeway with a capacity of 166 passengers takes you through the clouds to the summit of Ryuoh Mountain at an altitude of 1,770 meters for an 8-minute flight.
The panoramic view spreads out before you.
The panoramic view extends as far as the Northern Alps and Mount Myoko below.

In summer, Ryuoh Marsh is a popular tourist destination as a place to experience alpine flora and various nature.
If the conditions are right, a sea of clouds can be seen below.

In the evening, the setting sun can be seen setting in the same line of sight, and when the sunset and the sea of clouds overlap, the color of the sky is truly fantastic.

SORA terrace is located at the top of the mountain, and SORA terrace cafe offers relaxing sofa seats and window seats with large windows.
You can enjoy original menu items such as cloud sea pie soup and fluffy cloud sea marshmallows that resemble clouds, as well as the view.

The park also offers trekking, hiking, and various events.

Ryuoh Mountain Park is also home to Ryuoh Onsen (hot springs) and several hotels.
The park is also within easy reach of the famous Yudanaka Onsen and Shibu Onsen hot springs.
