The facility will begin a demonstration experiment of a priority boarding system using an advance reservation system in order to shorten waiting times and alleviate congestion during busy hours for viewing the night view.

At this facility, during peak hours for viewing the night scenery, there may be wait times of up to an hour and a half before boarding the ropeway, as lines to purchase tickets may extend outside the entrance hall.

By introducing an advance reservation system that allows passengers to purchase tickets for a specific date and time, we believe that this will help spread out visitor times and shorten ticket issuing processing times, thereby contributing to improved convenience and comfort. Therefore, ahead of the busy season for the Snow Festival, we will begin demonstration experiments on the introduction of the advance reservation system and will verify changes in the flow of people as we approach full-scale operation.

・Only the ropeway going up from the base of the mountain can be reserved in advance.

・You will be given priority to board the bus at the time you have reserved.

・Reservations can be made in units of one flight (in 15-minute increments)

・There will be a reservation limit of 20 people per flight.

・A "lane reserved for advance reservations" will be set up at the ticket counter on the 4th floor of Sanroku Station.
