The Yokoteyama Skylator (横手山スカイレーター, Yokoteyama Sukairētā) is an outdoor moving walkway located in Yamanouchi, Nagano, Japan.
Yokote (Yokoteyama [ja] in Japanese), an altitude of 2,307 metres (7,569 feet), without hiking.
[1] It operates seasonally, typically from April to November, avoiding winter closures due to heavy snowfall.
[3] On weekdays the Skylator operates alternately in both directions, but on weekends and busy holiday periods it only operates uphill requiring use of the ski lifts and a free shuttle bus to do a round trip to the summit of Mt.
[4][1] The Skylator may appear to be a type of funicular but, similar to slope cars, is not legally classified as a railway in Japan and is instead classified as an incline elevator.
