It is first in Japan and world’s newest urban-type circular ropeway.
All cabins are barrier-free, where tourists can enjoy the cityscape view above the city. Each cabin is equipped with state-of-the-art functions and technology across a wide range of fields, including ventilation systems by natural circulation of air which is perfect in this time of pandemic where people are anxious about the air they breathe in in enclosed space. It has cooling systems, safety monitoring systems, and lightning performance using full-color LEDs.
The Yokohama Air Cabin operates from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, one-way ticket is ¥1,000/ round-trip ticket is ¥1,800 for adults (over 12 years old), ¥500/ round-trip is ¥900 for children (3 years old to 11 years old). It’s a 10% discount for a group of 20 people or more and a 50% discount for disabled persons (one adult carer).
