Bringing Your Pet

You can bring your pet on board the Gozaisho Ropeway gondola.
However, you need to strictly follow the instructions below. If you have any questions, please ask our staff.

How to ride with your pet

Your pet is only allowed on board in a hard case (hereinafter referred to as “case”) that is large enough to cover your pet’s whole body.

Please note the following:
You can take your pet for a stroll at Mt.Gozaisho Summit Park if it is kept on a lead.
Refrain from leaving your dog tied up.
There is space to store cases on your way to the exit of the Ropeway’s Summit Park Station, so you don’t have to carry the case while taking a stroll.
Removing your pet partially or entirely from the case is not allowed either in the buildings or in a gondola. Please keep your pat in its case.
There might be those around you who do not like animals. Please be considerate and understanding of this to ensure the comfort of all passengers and visitors.
Pets are not allowed in the following areas, even in a case, due to the presence of food.

・‟Gift Corner” in front of the Ropeway’s Yunoyama Onsen Hot Springs Station
