If you wish to use the ropeway, a separate fee (apx. 10USD) is required. - Jigoku Nozoki (View of Hell) - This is a thrilling sightseeing spot where visitors can look down at the spectacular view from a rocky hill shaped like the blade of a saw, from which the name “Sawtooth Mountain” is derived.

But beyond that, the view is spectacular. If you have the courage, please give it a try!
