The Mt. Hakodate Ropeway travels from the foot of Mount Hakodate to the peak (altitude 334m) in approximately three minutes.
The gondola holds 125 passengers, and departs every 10 minutes.
On clear days, the view includes everything from Hakodate Port and the city streets of Hakodate to Tsugaru Strait and Shimokita Peninsula.
The night view from the peak is said to be one of the three best in the world with Naples and Hong Kong, and the summer Hakodate Port Festival fireworks, the winter bay area Christmas illumination, and other events provide a beautiful scene of the city being gradually lit up, and it is truly a “million-dollar night view.”
