Sumaura Ropeway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sumaura Ropeway (須磨浦ロープウェイ, Sumaura Rōpuwei) is Japanese aerial lift line in Kōbe, Hyōgo, operated by the Sanyō Electric Railway.[1] Opened in 1957, the line climbs Mount Hachibuse (246m) of the Suma coast. At the summit, there is a transfer to the Carlator (カーレーター, Kārētā), a sort of escalator with baskets. Carlator is a portmanteau of "Car" and "escalator".[2]
