History
The route to Hashikura-dera was originally linked by a funicular railway called Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., opened in 1930. The line closed in 1944. In 1971, Shikoku Cable opened a chairlift running on the former funicular line route, as well as an aerial tramway that links the chairlift terminus and the temple. Another aerial tramway opened along the chairlift line in 1977. In 1999, two aerial tramways were refurbished into one funitel line, eliminating the need of transfer.
In 2020, the ropeway was to be used as part of the torch relay for the 2020 Summer Olympics, but this was delayed to 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[1]
