Last update :

The gondola connects the "Naeba Plateau," where the Naeba Prince Hotel is located, and the "Tashiro Plateau" spread out at the mountaintop. It boasts the longest length in Japan, approximately 5.5 km, moving up and down a total elevation difference of about 430 meters.

In addition to the winter ski season, it operates seasonally in spring and autumn. The "Fresh Green Dragondola" operating in early spring lets passengers feel the vibrant life of native beech, magnolia, and horse chestnut trees. The "Autumn Leaves Gondola" offers breathtaking mountain views dyed in crimson, yellow, and other splendid autumn colors. The glossy yellow autumn leaves of larch trees near the foothill station are also a sight to behold.

Don't miss the "Futaiko Lake," whose color changes depending on the weather, and the magnificent "Tairappyo Mountain." The scenic view of the mountains from the gondola's window frame-like structure is truly nature's art. Enjoy nature's masterpiece with a spectacular view during this approximately 25-minute aerial stroll.
