・We are not responsible for accidents or injuries during the tour, except in cases of gross negligence on our part.

4. Other

You can usually see the "juhyo" (snow monsters) near the summit from late December to around February. However, if the ropeway is out of service, you will not be able to go to the summit and therefore will not be able to see the juhyo.

・During peak seasons such as the year-end/New Year holidays, Chinese New Year, and weekends in the dead of winter, the ropeway is expected to be very crowded, and there may be a wait time to board.
