Tsurugisan Peak Hiking with Lift and Okuiya Double Vine Bridge Sky Hike

A sky hiking course that takes you up Tsurugisan, one of the finest peaks in western Japan, using a sightseeing lift. From Minokoshi, sway on the lift as if taking an aerial stroll, and from Nishijima Station, it's about a 40-minute walk to the summit at 1,955 meters elevation. The grand panorama of rippling bamboo grassland ridges is truly a paradise in the sky. After descending, leisurely explore Nagoro Kakashi no Sato (Village of Scarecrows), where there are more scarecrows than actual residents, and conclude with a thrilling crossing of the secret Okuiya Double Vine Bridge. The woven vine suspension bridge breathes with Heike clan legends. Primeval forest, bamboo grassland, and gorge—a mountain journey where you can savor all the natural wonders of the Tsurugisan range in a single day. An unforgettable trip for nature lovers.
