Onomichi Channel Live Cam

Historical Development

The Mt. Senkōji Ropeway, inaugurated in 1967, revolutionized Onomichi sightseeing by providing a swift ascent from the city’s harbor district to the summit station overlooking the Onomichi Channel. Engineered to navigate a 327-meter vertical rise across a span of 1,200 meters, this aerial tramway employs dual cabins operating in counterbalance, each supported by high-tensile steel cables and guided by precision-engineered bullwheels. Searches for “Mt. Senkōji Ropeway history” and “Onomichi aerial tramway engineering” spike among visitors intrigued by the ropeway’s mechanical heritage and mid-Showa era design innovations.
