Lonely Planet review for Cable car
This mode of transport whisks you to the top of Hokadate-yama mountain in a few minutes. Take tram 2 or 5 to the Jūjigai stop (around 200) and walk uphill to the ropeway platform (seven minutes). A summit-bound bus (around 360, 30 minutes) leaves directly from the station, is cheaper and stops at several viewing places as it winds to the top. Those wanting to rough it old-style can take the hiking track (from May to late October).
