Mitake Tozan Railway, Takimoto Station (御岳登山鉄道 滝本駅)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Mitakesan Cable Car (御岳山ケーブルカー) links Takimoto Station and Mitakesan Station. On the roughly six-minute journey through the air, you can look out over Mitake Valley and the mountains of Okutama spreading below, an exciting moment before exploring the valley. There are viewpoints around the summit station too, where you can spend time at leisure feeling the cool mountain air. For small children, riding the cable car itself becomes a special experience.

Tips

Takimoto Station is a few minutes by bus from Mitake Station. It can get crowded at weekends during the summer holidays, so visiting early in the morning allows a calmer ride. The summit is cooler than the foot of the mountain, so something to put on is reassuring.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour including waiting time. The view in the clear morning air is recommended.
