The Mt. Senkoji Ropeway is a throughway connecting Nagaeguchi Station at the base to Senkoji-yama Station at the summit of Mount Senkoji, a 144.2 meter-tall towering member of Onomichi’s three famed peaks.
The ride up to the summit is a slick 3-minute journey that launches every 15 minutes. The ride inside reveals full panoramic views of Senkoji Temple and Ushitora Shrine, both designated Japan Heritage sites. The greatest charm of this aerial journey lies in its breathtaking vistas, which showcase blooming cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant azaleas in early summer, and the changing seasonal scenery below. Expansive views also include Onomichi Channel, the cityscape of Onomichi, the Shimanami Kaido, and even distant glimpses of Shikoku island.
Operating hours are from 9:00am to 5:15pm, with extended service during special events such as cherry blossom season and the Sumiyoshi Fireworks Festival. Pet-friendly travel is permitted if pets are kept inside a carrier, showcasing the facility’s consideration for tourists’ needs.
At the summit there’s an observation deck and Senkoji Park, making this area an ideal spot for appreciating Onomichi’s rich history and natural beauty. The ropeway thus serves as an attractive and convenient gateway for sightseeing in Onomichi.
