History

[edit]

The ropeway was opened in 1933 by the Nikko Mountain Railway. The ropeway's operations were suspended inWorld War II until 1950, whenTobu Railway took over as the new operator. The ropeway was one of the four various lines that connectedLake Chūzenji andNikkō Station. The other three lines have already been closed. One of the three closed lines' station building was converted to a drive-in, which closed in 2017.^[4]

In November 2024, Tobu Group planned to renew the ropeway in order to increase its capacities. A new ropeway that would connect with the Akechidaira Ropeway's Akechidaira Station was proposed in the same month.^[5]^[6]
