Mount Gozaisho is considered to be the highest peak in the Suzuka Mountains, which is located at Komono Town Mie District. Noted for its magnificent autumn colors found around the Suzuka area.

Enjoy its splendor and immerse yourself with the beautiful sights and the perfect scenery of the Gozaisho mountain painted with striking autumn colors.

The aerial Ropeway will take you on a ride of a lifetime and reveals the surrounding beauty.

The mountains stand proud amidst the blue sky.

One of the shrines to be found seated at the top is called the Choyodai Observatory and Fujimi-Iwa Observatory.

Gozaisho Ropeway Entrance Fees (via Yunoyama-onsen Station/Sanjoen Station): Adult (Junior High School and older): Round-trip ¥2,100, One way ¥1,200. Children (4 years old-Elementary School): Round-trip ¥1,050, One way ¥600.

You can climb via the Gozaisho Ropeway and this area is famous for ski sports during the winter season. This Ropeway connects the Yunoyama Hot Springs and the summit of Mount Gozaisho. During the autumn season, the rhododendon trees that cover Mount Gozaisho burst into a lovely array of colors. Leaves begin to change at the summit during mid-October and the display of colors reaches Yunoyama Onsen (hot springs) at the base around late November. Upon climbing the mountain, you have to expect a slight traffic specially if you go by car. But as you enter the resort, you can feel and enjoy the autumn season's colors along the way.
