Zao Ropeway

Information
Zao Ropeway takes you to the summit of 1,736 meters high Mt. Jizo, where the statue of Zao Jizoson, a guardian deity for pregnancy and childcare, sits squarely. There is also a restaurant on top of the mountain.
From Zao-Sanroku Station at the foot of the mountain to Zizo-Sancho Station via Juhyo-kogen plateau, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Zao with the Asahi mountain range from a ropeway gondola. The scenery of frost covered trees in winter is especially amazing.
