Ropeway

The great view at the summit can be reached in about 3 minutes.

The Ropeway Summit Station, situated on the approximately 200-meter high summit of Mount Shiroyama, is connected to the Ropeway Base Station in front of Kikko Park by a journey of around three minutes.
You can enjoy a wide vista that includes Kikko Park, the Nishiki River, Kintaikyo Bridge and the old castle town, and in the far distance, you can even see Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
There is a roofed resting area and a viewing platform at the summit, where you can enjoy the time until you board the return ropeway car.
