Iwakuni Castle Ropeway

The ropeway connects the foot of the mountain to the summit of Iwakuni Castle, about 200 meters above sea level, where the castle tower is located.

The 412-meter ride from the foot of the castle to the summit station takes about 3 minutes with a view of the Nishiki River and Kintai Bridge spread out below.

From the summit plaza, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Iwakuni and even the islands of the Seto Inland Sea on a clear day.

From the summit station, it is a 10-minute walk to Iwakuni Castle, which stands at the top of the mountain.
Cherry blossoms and autumn leaves can be enjoyed at Yoshika Park near the foot of the mountain.
