And when talking aboutOkinawa, in the past you might only think of blue skies, the ocean, and beaches—but starting today, you can add one more thing to the list: a mountain gondola. In the future, if you want to visit Miyako Island, you can leisurely take in the beautiful views without tiring your legs. The new cable car... offers an amazing experience without any crowds, no traffic, no noise, and no unpleasant odors. It has even been ranked “Japan’s No. 1”!The island’s largest Shigira Resort has built the island’s first mountain gondola. Spanning 283 meters, the 13-minute aerial journey takes passengers through the vast tropical resort area while offering a 360-degree unobstructed view of the coral reefs in the ocean and the endless blue sky.

Another highlight of the gondola is that it departs from a high point near Shigira Beach House. With no glass barriers, passengers can feel the sea breeze blowing toward them, enjoying a sense of freedom and comfort. As the ride nears the station close to Prefectural Road 235, you can sit back and admire the sparkling waves and ocean scenery from your seat.
