Mount Nesugata & Shimoda Ropeway
寝姿山
A summit park just 3 minutes by cable car from Izu-Kyukyo-Shimoda Station, overlooking Shimoda Harbor and the Izu Islands.
Mount Nesugata takes its name from its shape, which resembles a woman lying on her back. It sits next to Izu-Kyukyo-Shimoda Station. A cable car ride of about 3.5 minutes takes you to the summit at roughly 200 meters. The natural park at the top has observation decks overlooking Shimoda Harbor, Tsumekizaki, and the Izu Seven Islands at sea. It also features a reconstructed Black Ship lookout, the Aizen Myoo Hall, and seasonal flowers. The round-trip cable car fare is about 1,500 yen, and the park is open roughly 9:00 to 17:00. You can combine a visit here with Perry Road and Shirahama Beach on the same day.
