Rokkō Arima Ropeway


The Rokkō Arima Ropeway is an aerial lift line in Kōbe, Hyōgo, Japan, operated by Kōbe City Urban Development. Opened in 1970, the line links Mount Rokkō and Arima Onsen hot spring. The aerial lift consisted of two lines, Ura-Rokkō Line and Omote-Rokkō Line. The latter, however, is currently out of service, because users shifted to cars and buses.
