Hanazono Summer Gondola
Japan's first gondola produced by POMA, a French company, is now available for summer gondola rides.
The same gondola cabins for Symphony Gondola in winter are on the Hanazono 1 cables during summer to enable guests to access the top station of Hanazono 1, enjoying a walk in the air.
Enjoy a 6-minute ride from 308m to 658m, with panoramic views of majestic mountains. On clear days, you can even see Mt. Yotei, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains.
Your fluffy family members are also welcome! Near the summit station, you'll find benches, tables, and hanging chairs, making it perfect for a picnic. You can also enjoy a prime view of the HANAZONO ZIPFLIGHT in action.
Designed by Italy’s Pininfarina, the brand new 10-person Hanazono Symphony Gondola represents the pinnacle of modern gondola design and comfort and will be the first POMA *10-person Gondola installed in Japan. (*Summer Gondola is for 8 persons) Each cabin boasts individually embroidered, leather-trimmed seats, and an individual suspension system for each cabin.
