At a Glance

The Miyajima Ropeway is a pair of aerial lift lines that climb Mount Misen on Miyajima Island in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. It opened in 1959 and is operated by Hiroshima Tourism Promoting, a subsidiary of Hiroshima Electric Railway. The route starts at Momijidani Station, at the edge of Maple Valley Park.

The Momijidani Line is a gondola lift of 1.1 kilometers with a ride of about 10 minutes. It ends at Kayatani Station, which is only a transfer point with no exit. The Shishiiwa Line then carries passengers 0.5 kilometers in about three and a half minutes to Shishiiwa Station. A lookout over the Seto Inland Sea stands right beside that station, and a walking trail of about 30 minutes leads on to the observatory at the summit of Mount Misen.
