Rokkō Arima Ropeway.

The Rokkō Arima Ropeway (六甲有馬ロープウェー, Rokkō Arima Rōpuwē) is a Japanese aerial lift line in Kōbe, Hyōgo, operated by Kōbe City Urban Development. Opened in 1970, the line links Mount Rokkō and Arima Onsen hot spring.[1][2] The aerial lift consisted of two lines, Ura-Rokkō Line (裏六甲線, Ura-Rokkō-sen) and Omote-Rokkō Line (表六甲線, Omote-Rokkō-sen). The latter, however, is currently out of service, because users shifted to cars and buses.

This is the data of Ura-Rokkō Line.
