About this spot
The Hakkoda mountain range is a renowned peak range of Aomori Prefecture, and the "Hakkoda Ropeway" lets you easily enjoy its charm. The roughly 10-minute aerial ride from the base station to the Summit Park Station, at an elevation of about 1,324 meters, offers seasonal scenery spreading out below you. From spring to summer, fresh greenery and alpine plants bloom, and in autumn the entire mountain is dyed red and yellow in spectacular foliage. In winter, the biggest highlight is the world-famous "snow monsters" (juhyo, rime ice). The sight of giant rime-covered trees standing in a world of silver is truly art made by nature. From the Summit Park Station, an easy walking trail called "Hakkoda Golden Line" is maintained that even beginners can walk, allowing you to tour wetlands and observation points in about 30 to 60 minutes. It is recommended for all ages, from those who enjoy serious mountain climbing to those seeking a casual weekend refresh. Experience the power of Aomori's nature along with the majestic panorama.
