The Asahidake Ropeway (旭岳ロープウェイ, Asahidake Rōpuwei) is a Japanese aerial lift line in Asahidake Onsen, Higashikawa, Hokkaidō, operated by Wakasa Resort (ワカサリゾート). The ropeway line, founded in 1968 and refurbished in 2000, climbs Mount Asahi-dake of Daisetsuzan Mountains, the tallest mountain in Hokkaidō. The line mainly transports spectators of alpine plants in summer and autumn colors in autumn, while there also is a ski area.
