Yahiko Ropeway Station — Local services in Yahiko

I found the price as steep as the mountain. ¥1500 both ways for 1 person. If you don't mind paying that, I liked that they ran every 15 minutes. The last car goes down at 17h00 though so no watching the sunset from the top I guess. I walked from the shrine to the cable car station instead of taking the bus, and it was quite challenging to find as the signs weren't very clear and there were multiple paths...

Ideal activity when you’re visiting the shrine. There’s a shuttle bus that leaves every 20 minutes. THERE IS NO VEHICLE ACCESS. You either walk up of shuttle. The walk is somewhat steep but doable in 15 minutes. Unfortunately we went on a cloudy day that obstructed the view. Still, the experience...

Take a ropeway up to the mountain and get stunned by the view! You can park your car at the parking lot for Yohiko shrine, which is free, and take a free shuttle bus to the base ropeway station OR if you want some adventure you can take a 15 minute walk...
