    Nara Pref. Yoshinogunyoshinochou Yoshinoyama 79
    TheYoshino Omine Ropeway takes visitors to Yoshinoyama Station in about three minutes from Senbon-guchi Station which is just a three-minute walk from Yoshino Station on the Kintetsu Yoshino Line. It is the oldest ropeway in Japan, having been in operation since 1929, and the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers has registered it as an example of the country’s mechanical heritage. The ropeway normally operates from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and makes four round trips per hour. The number of runs is increased during the cherry blossom season in April, and large numbers of cherry blossom enthusiasts come to enjoy the view of Mount Yoshino through the windows of the ropeway cars.

    Nara Pref. Goseshi Kujira 2503-1

    近鉄御所駅からバスで約20分。 葛城登山口駅と葛城山上駅間を6分で結ぶ。近鉄の経営。運賃は往復1,500円だが、近鉄の3日間フリーきっぷについている割引券を使うと半額になる。ゴンドラからは大和盆地の景色を一望。ただし、最前部と最後部には何かを格納しているような台があり、その上に立つことは禁止されている。

Nara Areas

around-area-map

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
