| The Myoko Sky Cable, the gondola of the Akakura Kanko Ski Resort, runs daily from July 18 to November 11. Operating from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, it’s an ideal way to begin a climb of Mt. Myoko and Mt. Hiuchi. This takes a full hour off the climb from the Akakura side to the peak of Mt. Myoko. The ski area’s large parking lot makes it easy for those coming by car as well. We will also take all staying guests directly to the Sky Cable by our shuttle bus. Your host is also ready to be your guide for several different hiking and climbing courses. |
