List of aerial lifts in Japan


The list of aerial lifts in Japan lists aerial lifts in the nation.
In Japan, aerial lift, or "ropeway", includes means of transport such as aerial tramway, funitel, gondola lift, funifor, as well as chairlift. All of them are legally considered as a sort of railway. Chairlift is officially called "special ropeway", while colloquially called "lift". Other aerial lifts are officially called "normal ropeway", or colloquially "ropeway". Technical names exist for each "normal ropeway", such as "double single-cabled automatic loop normal ropeway" for funitel gondola lifts, but those names are hardly used outside authorities; most people don't distinguish them. Number of Japanese "normal ropeways" listed here are as follows.

It is also notable that the word "cable car" does not refer to aerial lifts in Japan, but to cable railways, such as cable cars proper or funiculars.
This article only lists "normal ropeways"; in other words, aerial lifts excluding chairlifts. Names might be tentative.
