Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway & Alpine Botanical Gardens

Operating most of the year other than brief periods either side of winter, the Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway runs from the centre of Yuzawa town to the summit of – what in winter is – Yuzawa Kogen Ski Resort. Outside of winter, the ropeway continues to operate providing access to the Yuzawa Panorama Park Alpes and Alpine Botanical Gardens and activities including a zip line, bob sled and go karts.

Restaurants and walking trails are located to the summit, with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. From spring to autumn, visitors can walk to the Alpine Botanical Gardens – home to more than 200 species of alpine plants.
