Hodosan Ropeway

Japan, 1766-1 Nagatoro, Nagatoro-machi, Chichibu-gun, Saitama Prefecture

This ropeway is erected on Mt. Hodo, which is 497 meters above sea level. It takes about five minutes to travel the 832 meters from the base station to the summit station. Two gondolas (capacity 50 people) run in a four-track interlocking system between the summit station and the base station in a bucket-style fashion. The gondolas are nicknamed "Monkey" and "Bambi," after the popular Japanese macaques and deer at Hodo Zoo.
