Mt. Kongō Ropeway.

The Mt. Kongō Ropeway (金剛山ロープウェイ, Kongōsan Rōpuwei) is Japanese aerial lift line in Chihayaakasaka, Ōsaka. The line is unique as it is owned by the village government. The line operation is entrusted to Gourmet Kineya (グルメ杵屋), a private company that mainly operates restaurants. Opened in 1966, the line climbs Mount Kongō, the highest point of Ōsaka.

As of November 1, 2019, operation is suspended at Mt. Kongo Ropeway.
