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.
6 minutes each way, from 308m to 658m above sea level.
On fine days, you can enjoy a superb aerial view of Mt Yotei, one of Hokkaido's most famous mountains and one of Japan's 100 most famous peaks.
Your fluffy family members are also welcome!
Pets are welcome on board, provided you have a gauge and leash cord. Why not make memories of your trip with your pet? There are benches, tables, and hanging chairs near the summit station, perfect for picnics. You can also watch the HANAZONO ZIPFLIGHT.
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.
