Hodosan Ropeway


The Hodosan Ropeway (宝登山ロープウェイ, Hodosan Rōpuwei) is Japanese aerial lift line in Nagatoro, Saitama. This is the only line Hodo Kōgyō () operates. The company is a subsidiary of Chichibu Railway. Opened in 1961, the line climbs Mount Hodo () of Chichibu Mountains. Cabins used for the line have not refurbished since its opening. Consequently, they are the oldest aerial lift cabins still used in Kantō region. At the summit, the company also operates a small zoo, a plum garden, and a wintersweet garden.
