Hakone Ropeway

Hakone Ropeway runs above the mountains of Hakone. It departs at Sounzan station whichi is at an elevation of 761 meters and reaches the highest point at an elevation of 1044 meters at the next station, Owakudani station. Then it goes through Ubako Station surrounded by plenty of greenery and finally arrives at the last stop, Togendai station where you can look down at Lake Ashi. Since the ropeway runs about 130 meters above the ground, you can see the mountains and the town of Hakone from the view point that only a ropeway can offer. The scenery from the ropeway is beautiful especially in October and November when the leaves changes their colors into red and yellow.
