Naeba Dragondola

Snow Country has some pretty amazing feats of engineering. For a while the ropeway in Yuzawa was the biggest capacity in the world, only recently having lost that title. It still has one of the world's longest gondolas though. Naeba's Dragondola links Naeba resort to Tashiro resort. It usually runs in the winter but every year it opens up so visitors can enjoy the amazing views of the changing autumn colors. Perfect for those not keen on too much trekking with their natural beauty.


This year the autumn season for the Dragondola lasts from Saturday October 8th to Sunday November 6th. It takes about 15 minutes to travel almost five and a half kilometers to Tashiro, giving you plenty of time to take in the views while enjoying a snack. It is a fantastic ride and a really novel way to enjoy the seasonal colors. The view from the Tashiro Station is also pretty impressive.
