Tsuwano Castle Ruins Chairlift

津和野町城跡観光リフト

Enjoy taking a “stroll in the sky”

areamap

The Tsuwano Castle Ruins Chairlift is a scenic sightseeing chairlift with a total length of 330m that runs between Taikodani Inari Shrine and the Tsuwano Castle Ruins. It is a convenient way of getting to the ruins. As the chairlift makes its way slowly up the steep slope, passengers get to enjoy a “stroll in the sky” while taking in the red-tiledscape of Tsuwano, which is known as “Little Kyoto,” as well as Mount Aono directly in front of them. *On foot, the round trip between the chairlift exit and the ruins takes approximately 40 minutes, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. It is also necessary to pay attention to the operating times for the descending chairlift, particularly the final one (the chairlift stops operating at around 4 p.m.).
