The Komagatake Ropeway reaches 2,612 meters, making this a popular mountain that can be reached in about two hours. Even if you don't climb the mountain, you can enjoy the spectacular views of Senjojiki Cirque as if you were hiking.

Alpine plants bloom in the summer, the leaves turn red in September and October, and the clear air and snowy fields are beautiful in winter. If you stay at Hotel Senjojiki, directly connected to Senjojiki Station, you can reach the quiet ridge before the first train and enjoy the sunrise and stargazing.

The most common way to access the mountain is to take a local bus from Suganodai Bus Center to Shirabidaira Station, then take the 7.5-minute ropeway to Senjojiki, and then travel to and from Kiso-Komagatake via Nakadake. The Hacchozaka slope is a steep climb before reaching the ridge, but beyond that are gentle granite hills and a spectacular view of the Southern and Northern Alps. The ropeway has one of the highest elevation changes in Japan (approximately 950 meters), making it an attractive option for quick access to the alpine zone.
For regular cars, park your car at the Suganodai Bus Center Parking Lot and take a bus to Shinobidaira Ropeway Station. The bus ride takes about 30 minutes.
