The Harunasan Ropeway connects the shores of Lake Haruna to the summit of Mount Haruna in approximately three minutes. Operating since 1958, it introduced Japan's first 15-passenger twin gondola system in 1996. As the ropeway ascends through the lush natural surroundings of Mount Haruna, passengers can enjoy a stunning aerial journey with breathtaking panoramic views.

Located near the Chikugo River in Fukuoka Prefecture, this is the main shrine of Suitengu, with branches across Japan and even in Hawaii.

Suitengu is revered as a deity of water, offering blessings for safe childbirth, fertility, and protection from misfortune.
