A little bit of a bargain, and the view is amazing.

There was information that the ropeway might be crowded during the Golden Week, so I thought it would be a good idea to get tickets in advance, especially since they were a bit cheaper.

In conclusion, it might not have been necessary… It seems the timing was the issue; since I aimed for lunchtime, the ropeway was actually quite empty.

I showed my ticket to the staff for exchange, so I went to the ticket counter instead of the vending machine, but it took quite a while because they were dealing with a group of foreign tourists, so I had to wait a bit… There was no line at the vending machine, so that would have been faster.

The view was amazing, so I highly recommend Kankakei! You should definitely ride the ropeway too! This time, I’m satisfied with the peace of mind and the slight savings. GWでロープーウェイが混雑しているかも。という情報があり事前にチケットを入手しておこうと思い、少しお得だったのもあって購入。
結論、そこまでしなくてもよかったかもです…行く時間が問題のようで、昼時を狙ったのでロープーウェイは空いてました。。

チケットを係員に見せて引き換えなので、券売機ではなく窓口に行きましたが、団体の外国人観光客の対応に時間がかかっていて割と待ちました…券売機は並んで無かったので、そっちのほうが早かったです、、
景色は最高でしたので、寒霞渓はおすすめです！ロープーウェイも乗ったほうがいい… GWでロープーウェイが混雑しているかも。という情報があり事前にチケットを入手しておこうと思い、少しお得だったのもあって購入。

今回は、安心と少しだけお得だったということで納得してます。。

This year, the temperatures were consistently high, so when I went, it was a bit early for the autumn leaves, but the view was spectacular. You can drive to the top, but I think the scenery from the ropeway is definitely worth seeing. I would like to come back someday during the autumn foliage season for a second chance.今年は気温がずっと高かったので、私が行った時は紅葉には少し早かったけど、絶景でした。
頂上までは車でも登れますが、やはりロープウェイで見る景色は一見の価値があると思います。
またいつか紅葉の時期にリベンジしたいです。

The autumn leaves were beautiful. The foliage on both sides of the stones and the valley while descending from the summit was truly lovely. Even on December 3rd, the autumn leaves were stunning.紅葉が良かつた、頂上から下に降りる時に両側の石と谷間の紅葉が大変よかつた、12月３日の利用でも紅葉がきれいでした。

The summit offers a breathtaking view and there are many highlights for the art festival. For meals, you have to wait in line, so it might be a good idea to bring your own food. The souvenir selection was also impressive.山頂は絶景で芸術祭のポイントもあるので見所がおおいです。食事は行列に並ばなくては行けないので、持参してもいいかと思います。お土産も充実していました。

The view from above is wonderful. You can see the realistic shapes of the rocky surface clearly. You can dynamically feel the beauty of the lush trees.上から見下ろす景観は素晴らしいです
岩肌のリアルな形がよく見えます。木々の生い茂る美しさをダイナミックに感じられます

A relatively smooth ropeway experience with reservation and advance payment.

This reservation does not come with any special discounts.

I exchanged my round-trip tickets that I had reserved in advance at the summit station.

At the summit station, there are two options for purchasing tickets: at the ticket counter and at the ticket vending machines. Those who made reservations in advance need to exchange their tickets at the counter.

I had to line up with new purchasers at the counter, but it was relatively smooth to secure tickets with a reservation and pre-payment.

That sai… This reservation does not come with any special discounts.

That said, many of the people purchasing at the counter were foreign tourists and tour operators, so you should be prepared for a certain amount of waiting time.

For those who accumulate points through websites or credit cards, it feels like a good deal since you can earn some points, even if it's just a little.

By the way, as for activities, the ropeway at Kankakei in late November is at its peak for autumn leaves. I felt like I wanted to stay on the ropeway forever. 本予約は特に割引になるというものではありません。

私は山頂駅で事前に予約していた往復チケットを引き換えました。

山頂駅でのチケット購入は、窓口と券売機の2パターンあり、事前予約者は窓口での引き換えでした。

窓口で購入する新規購入者の列と一緒に並ぶ必要がありましたが、予約・事前決済で比較的スムーズにチケットを確保することが可能となります。

とはいえ、窓口で購入する方の多くは外国人観光客とツアー担当者だったためある程度の待ち時間は覚悟しなければいけません。

サイトやクレジットカードのポイントを貯めている方にと… 本予約は特に割引になるというものではありません。

ちなみに、アクティビティとしては11月末の寒霞渓のロープウェイはまさに紅葉の見頃。いつまでも、ロープウェイに乗っていたいと感じるほどでした。
