Take an aerial stroll through the autumn foliage on the Dragondola, Japan's longest gondola
Mt. Naeba is one of the most popular ski areas in Japan and attracts an impressive number of visitors each year. It is also home to the Dragondola, Japan’s longest gondola at 5,481 meters, and the Tashiro Ropeway, boasting the country’s highest ground clearance at 230 meters, which are both operational during the autumn foliage season. Shuttle buses and walking paths connect the two, allowing visitors to enjoy a breathtaking journey that combines these two top attractions surrounded by stunning autumn colors.
Experience the long, thrill-packed ride - almost like riding a rollercoaster!
On Japan’s longest gondola, the Dragondola, visitors can enjoy an exhilarating 25-minute one-way ride through a vibrant world of autumn foliage. Immerse yourself in the series of powerful landscapes as you plunge down steep, colorful slopes toward the Kiyotsu River like a roller coaster, then glide past spectacular views of the emerald-green Lake Futai. On the other hand, the Tashiro Ropeway offers a breathtaking moment at its midpoint, where you'll soar 230 meters above the ground. From the summit station, you’ll be treated to unforgettable sweeping panoramic views of Lake Tashiro and the majestic Mount Tanigawa.
