2020.07.29

Muikamachi Hakkaiyama Ski Area was closed to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infectious diseases, but from July 23, 2020 (Thursday/holiday), the Hakkaiyama Ropeway green season tourism business started.
The Hakkaisan Ropeway is an 81-seater ropeway with a total length of 2,217m and located inside the Muikamachi Hakkaiyama Ski Resort, which is located on the west side of Mt. Sakai Mt. Hakkai (1,778m above sea level), which is one of the three mountains in Echigo.
You can experience the charm of nature through the four seasons, such as “aerial walk” where you can enjoy an open view, climbing and trekking to Mt.

Ropeway Sancho Station is 1,147m above sea level, and the temperature is about 5℃ lower than at the foot of the mountain, so the wind that blows through even in the summer can be refreshing and you can enjoy the feeling of a summer resort, making it ideal for making fun memories for children.

From the observatory, a 360-degree panoramic view spreads out overlooking the Uonuma Plain, the Uonuma Basin, the Joshinetsu border mountains, and the Sea of ​​Japan and Sado Island during fine weather. You can also see the sea of ​​clouds depending on the weather conditions after the opening of business during the autumn colors.

Prince Hotel has established and introduced a new sanitary and disinfection standard “Prince Safety Commitment” so that customers can enjoy a safe and clean space. Hakkaisan Ropeway reduces the number of passengers from 80 to 40 and operates, and the employees wipe and sterilize the inside of the ropeway and ventilate it. We will do our best to use it.
