About this spot
One of Japan's three most beautiful gorges and Shodoshima's most iconic scenic spot. Riding the ropeway offers sweeping views of the dramatic gorge with its distinctive rock formations, lush mountainsides, and the Seto Inland Sea stretching below. In summer, the vibrant greenery and clear air make the island's natural grandeur truly come alive. The vista from the summit observation deck is a must-see attraction on any Shodoshima visit.

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
About 20 minutes by car from the Utsumi area. The ropeway can get crowded during summer vacation, so visiting early in the morning is recommended. It's cooler at the summit than at the base, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea.
Best time to visit
About 1.5 hours. Morning air is clearest, offering the best visibility.
