Kinosaki Onsen Ropeway
城崎温泉ロープウェイ
A roughly 7-minute cable car ride from the hot spring town to the summit of Mt. Daishi, with views over Kinosaki's streets, the Maruyama River and the Sea of Japan.
The cable car departs from the base station near Onsen-ji Temple and passes Onsen-ji Station before reaching the summit station on Mt. Daishi, about 231 m above sea level. The whole ride takes about 7 minutes. At the top are a viewing platform, a teahouse and the Ichigan Jizo statue. From here you can see the rooftops of the hot spring town and the winding Maruyama River all the way to the Sea of Japan. Operating hours are roughly 9:10 to 17:10, and the round-trip fare is about 1,200 yen. The ropeway is closed on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, except on public holidays. You can get off at Onsen-ji Station to visit the temple and then walk down the mountain in about 20 minutes.
