17 Sweeping Views All the Way to Wakayama from the Longest Ropeway in Western Japan

Connecting Tairyu-ji Temple, the 21st temple on the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, from its 600-meter altitude to the foothills is the longest ropeway in Japan, offering sweeping views of the Naka River, Tsurugi Mountains, and Kii Channel. Ropeway crew provide amusing commentary and anecdotes about Kobo Daishi, letting you enjoy the scenery below on an even deeper level. This high, shaking ropeway is also perfect for thrill-seekers.
