What a great experience. The views are fantastic and getting there is interesting: we’ll explain soon. It is different to the Sapporo TV Tower. Is it value for money: absolutely. Would we buy this experience via Viator again: No. You can buy this at the Ropeway pretty cheaply and if you are in our age group, over 65 you can try and get a Seniors ticket, substantially cheaper again. The ropeway is two experiences in one, as it is in two sections: two different carriages to get to the top. Shops, facilities, food & drink available. We went in the third week of October: take your winter clothes, as it gets cold up there. I missed my Beanie & gloves (in the draw at home). Superb from the top. Timings: only a few people at around 11.30am, no crowds/buses; very pleasant experience. Now back to getting there and returning to the city: we plan really well & luv researching stuff: we had an amazing experience today: got to Odori Train station, walked westward and joined the Streetcar at Stop 1: travelled anti-clockwise on it and got off at Stop 10 Ropeway (stops are explained on the streetcar in Japanese & English). We walked 600m up to the start point. Coming home we did the reverse and stopped at all 24 stops on our travels; great views of daily life away from the touristy areas. Normal travel time from Odori area to/from is about 20 minutes: unbelievable! Even got smiles from locals and children😀. Travel time to and from plus the Ropeway itself: allow around 2-3 hours. P.S: there is NO connecting free shuttle bus from the streetcar Ropeway area to the actual Ropeway during weekdays until >5pm & weekends. As seasoned, fit, over 65 married couple, we appreciate the value of these honest reviews. Another tip from Autumn in beautiful Sapporo: if you go to Odori area, indulge in outstanding freshly made bakery products at Donbury Bakery! Some of the best we have ever seen in our travels! We bought a bunch of excellent products for ‘dinner’ (with our own coffee in our hotel room). That’s it everyone: we know it is a long review but we thought we would share our magnificent experience/s with you. Thanks, ALGreynomads.

■Highlights Along with renovation of Mt. Moiwa facilities in 2011, the gondola of the ropeway was also improved to the latest model. Gondola has been colored to blend harmoniously with nature by following the color scape guidelines of Sapporo.

Sapporo: A MUST do activity!

Nice Views!
Great and easy experience . My only issue is it kept saying it was sold out and two of our party wanted to join but they didn't . When we got there, there was plenty of seats and they could have come .

My kids love it
Nice experience for both adults and kids. We stayed at the observation deck for about 1.5 hours. The Ropeway is pleasant.

Beautiful!
Beautiful. Went in winter. Lots of snow so the kids made snow angels. Beautiful sight of the town. Rope way and mini tram were so fun and peaceful.

Great service
I had my reservation for February 5th, 2020 but the weather made the view from Mt. Moiwa bad, the officer who take my reservation offered Me to trade my booking for the ticket another day (February 6th, 2020). So, a 5 star ratings from me...👍
