About Naeba Dragon Gondola
Japan's longest cable car. A 25-minute aerial journey to enjoy the abundance of nature and the thrill it brings.
Details
The "Naeba Kogen," which connects to the Naeba Prince Hotel, features a cable car that ascends to the summit "Tashiro Kogen." This 5.5-kilometer ride is the longest cable car in Japan, rising to an altitude of approximately 430 meters through a series of ups and downs.
In addition to the winter ski season, the cable car also operates in spring and autumn. The "Shinryoku Dragon Cable Car," which runs in early spring, allows passengers to experience the vibrant spring atmosphere filled with wild beech trees, Japanese magnolias, and seven-leaf trees; while the "Koyo Dragon Cable Car" in autumn offers breathtaking views of the majestic mountains adorned in brilliant red and yellow hues. The golden autumn leaves of the Japanese larch near the mountain station are also a highlight not to be missed.
Moreover, the "Nikyu Lake," whose color changes with the weather, and the majestic "Hirabayashi Mountain" are must-see attractions. From the picturesque cable car windows, the rich mountain forest scenery can be considered a work of art created by nature. Enjoy the beautiful views during the approximately 25-minute aerial walk, taking in all the artistic wonders of nature.
Highlights
Connecting "Naeba Kogen" and the mountaintop "Tashiro Kogen," this is the longest cable car in Japan. Seasonal cable cars operate during the fresh green spring and the colorful autumn foliage. Enjoy the thrill of the undulating landscape while overlooking the abundant natural scenery before you.
