Our facility was featured on Kanagawa TV's "Neko no Hitai Hodo Wide" broadcast on November 26, 2025!
Unfortunately, the broadcast cannot be viewed in real time in Hokkaido, but you can watch it on catch-up streaming!
Mr. Nobu Makita, who attended Hokkaido University, also showed us the night view from Iwakara.
Thank you so much for coming out in the cold!
It's full of the charm of Hokkaido, so be sure to watch it!
Thank you for using the Sapporo Mt. Moiwa Ropeway.
We have decided to discontinue our annual New Year's special service as detailed below.
We would also like to inform you that the entire facility will be closed for two days during the New Year's holiday (New Year's Eve and New Year's Day) .
The New Year's special service, which has been enjoyed by many customers for many years, will be discontinued from 2026 in light of recent changes in traffic conditions and social conditions. We appreciate your understanding.
Two days: Wednesday, December 31, 2025 and Thursday, January 1, 2026
During this period, all facilities, including the ropeway, will be closed.
We will be open until Tuesday, December 30th, 2025, and will resume normal business hours from 11:00am to 10:00pm from Friday, January 2nd, 2026.
The Mt. Moiwa Sightseeing Expressway will close for the current fiscal year on Thursday, November 20, 2025. The Nature Learning Trail will also close for the current fiscal year on Thursday, November 20. (Please note that the closing date may be earlier depending on snow conditions.)
*Due to snow accumulation and frozen roads, the tourist road and nature trails have closed for this year. (11/19 9:00)
We are planning to reopen next year around late April 2026. We will announce the reopening date on our website. Please note that the ropeway will open at 11:00 in winter (December to March).
