Going up the Hodosan Ropeway, 2018

The Hodosan Ropeway (宝登山ロープウェイ, Hodosan Rōpuwei) is Japanese aerial lift line in Nagatoro, Saitama.

It is the only line Hodo Kōgyō (宝登興業) operates. The company is a subsidiary of Chichibu Railway. Opened in 1961, the line climbs Mount Hodo (宝登山) of Chichibu Mountains. Cabins used for the line have not refurbished since its opening. Consequently, they are the oldest aerial lift cabins still used in Kantō region. At the summit, the company also operates a small zoo, a plum garden, and a wintersweet garden.
