Gifu Shinhotaka Ropeway, Japan

It is more convenient to check the two cable car schedules in advance, otherwise you have to wait for half an hour. The weather was not very good on the day of the mountain climbing, and the observation deck was not open before July 18, so I was unable to enjoy the beautiful scenery, which was a pity

The Okuhida area is known as the holy land of Japan's mountain tours. Not only can you see the majestic mountains, but you can also enjoy the abundant hot springs. The Okuhida Onsen Village and Shinhotaka Onsen, located in the heart of Takayama City at the foot of the Northern Alps, is an aerial cable car that runs from the starting point "Shinhotaka Onsen" station to the end point "Nishihotakaguchi" station. Here you can have a 360-degree panoramic view of the Northern Alps, including Nishihotaka-dake, Yariga-dake, and Kasa-dake. The Nishihotakaguchi Observation Deck was also selected as a two-star attraction in the "Michelin Green Guide Japan Edition" because of its magnificent scenery.

You can scan the QR code directly to exchange tickets, which is very convenient and saves time

Book tickets in advance to avoid buying tickets on site and directly exchange for physical tickets

Remember to exchange your tickets at the counter first! If you buy an extra 1500 coupon, you will get a lot of tickets. The scenery along the way is beautiful, the cable car speed is also very stable, it is fun to ride a roller coaster through the tower in the middle, and the air at the top of the forest is very good. It's a pity that we happened to encounter the observation deck closed when we went there, but it was still very good!

Very useful electronic tickets, bus tickets do not need to be exchanged at the counter, up and down directly show the driver to see, however remember the cable car to exchange tickets at the ticket office.

For those who want to go from Takayama to the Shin-Hotaka Cable Car, this is a very affordable and convenient ticket. Just show the driver the time displayed on your phone and you can get on the bus. Except for the Shin-Hotaka Cable Car ticket, you don't need to change tickets for other buses.

The Shin-Hotaka Ropeway + Okuhida Value Ticket is very good value and easy to use; it is very suitable for independent travelers who do not drive themselves; it is much cheaper than buying it separately; the 2-day independent travel setting also adds a lot of flexibility; if you have strong legs, you can visit multiple attractions in two days, which will be even more worthwhile.

Convenient and cost-effective. Cheaper than buying in pieces. And there is no need to go to the counter to pick up the ticket.

You can ride the bus between Takayama and Hirayu, and between Hirayu and Shin-Hotaka freely within two days. After exchanging money online, just show it to the driver and press the button to use it when you get on the bus for the first time. After that, just show the driver the webpage screen. When you get to the ticket window for the cable car ticket, the staff will help you press the button and then exchange it for a paper bill. It's very convenient. Shin-Hotaka is very beautiful in winter, with mountains and trees covered with snow. I want to experience it again in another season next time.
