From Gora to Soun'zan, climbing steep slopes in one go by cable car
About this spot
The Hakone Mountain Railway Cable Car connects Gora Station and Soun'zan Station in approximately 10 minutes. Climbing a steep slope with a 200-meter elevation gain from the staircase-like interior feels like riding a theme park attraction. Looking back, you'll see the town of Gora and the Hakone outer rim mountains, building anticipation for the next ropeway ride in this scenic section.
Tips
The lowest car on the Gora side offers stunning views of the tracks you've climbed and the town below. Strollers can be kept open, but collapsing them during crowded times is reassuring.
Best time to visit
Approximately 10 minutes travel; mornings see lighter traffic on the descending direction for smooth passage
