At a Glance
The Hakone Komagatake Ropeway is an aerial tramway in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, that climbs Mount Komagatake from Hakone-en on the shore of Lake Ashi. It opened in 1963 and runs about 1.8 kilometers, with a vertical rise of 590 meters, in a ride of around seven minutes. Two large cabins carry up to 101 passengers each, and most riders stand.
The upper station is near the summit of the 1,327 meter peak, a central cone of the Hakone volcano. The summit has views over the Hakone area and Mount Fuji, and the Motomiya, the original shrine site of Hakone Shrine, is also there. Since the Komagatake funicular closed in 2005, the ropeway has been the only way up to the top. It is operated by Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide, which took it over from Izu Hakone Railway.
