Day Trip to Shinhotaka Ropeway, Takayama Overview
Japan's only double-decker gondola, climbing to an observation deck at 2,156 metres with the Northern Alps standing across the valley. Unlike Kamikochi, which shuts for the winter, this runs all year, and the snow walls along the approach road in spring are part of the appeal. About 90 minutes by bus. There is an outdoor onsen at the base station for afterwards.
