Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar
■Highlights Along with renovation of Mt. Moiwa facilities in 2011, the gondola of the ropeway was also improved to the latest model. Gondola has been colored to blend harmoniously with nature by following the color scape guidelines of Sapporo. From "The 70 Colors of Sapporo Scenery" guideline, the color of «Ezofukurou »« Scriurus vulgaris orientis» is a representative of the local wildlife that inhabit the Moiwa Mountain✿✿✿✿ In 5 minutes, air walk to climb a distance of nearly 1,200m is exhilarating.

Sapporo: A MUST do activity!
What a great experience. The views are fantastic and getting there is interesting: we’ll explain soon. It is different to the Sapporo TV Tower. Is it value for money: absolutely. Would we buy this experience via Viator again: No. You can buy this at the Ropeway pretty cheaply and if you are in our age group, over 65 you can try and get a Seniors ticket, substantially cheaper again. The ropeway is two experiences in one, as it is in two sections: two different carriages to get to the top. Shops, facilities, food & drink available. We went in the third week of October: take your winter clothes, as it gets cold up there. I missed my Beanie & gloves (in the draw at home). Superb from the top. Timings: only a few people at around 11.30am, no crowds/buses; very pleasant experience. Now back to getting there and returning to the city: we plan really well & luv researching stuff: we had an amazing experience today: got to Odori Train station, walked westward and joined the Streetcar at Stop 1: travelled anti-clockwise on it and got off at Stop 10 Ropeway (stops are explained on the streetcar in Japanese & English). We walked 600m up to the start point. Coming home we did the reverse and stopped at all 24 stops on our travels; great views of daily life away from the touristy areas. Normal travel time from Odori area to/from is about 20 minutes: unbelievable! Even got smiles from locals and children😀. Travel time to and from plus the Ropeway itself: allow around 2-3 hours. P.S: there is NO connecting free shuttle bus from the streetcar Ropeway area to the actual Ropeway during weekdays until >5pm & weekends. As seasoned, fit, over 65 married couple, we appreciate the value of these honest reviews. Another tip from Autumn in beautiful Sapporo: if you go to Odori area, indulge in outstanding freshly made bakery products at Donbury Bakery! Some of the best we have ever seen in our travels! We bought a bunch of excellent products for ‘dinner’ (with our own coffee in our hotel room). That’s it everyone: we know it is a long review but we thought we would share our magnificent experience/s with you. Thanks, ALGreynomads.

Nice Views!
Great and easy experience . My only issue is it kept saying it was sold out and two of our party wanted to join but they didn't . When we got there, there was plenty of seats and they could have come .

My kids love it
Nice experience for both adults and kids. We stayed at the observation deck for about 1.5 hours. The Ropeway is pleasant.

Beautiful!
Beautiful. Went in winter. Lots of snow so the kids made snow angels. Beautiful sight of the town. Rope way and mini tram were so fun and peaceful.
Response from the operator: Thank you Jeanne D for such a Kind Feedbacks, it motivates our team to work harder and serve you better.

Great service
I had my reservation for February 5th, 2020 but the weather made the view from Mt. Moiwa bad, the officer who take my reservation offered Me to trade my booking for the ticket another day (February 6th, 2020). So, a 5 star ratings from me...👍

Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sapporo.
How much does Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sapporo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sapporo is not rushed.
Is Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sapporo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sapporo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sapporo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sapporo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sapporo?
+
On Outty we rank every Sapporo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sapporo Bar Hopping Food Tour, Wagashi traditional japanese sweets class, Mondo's most popular No.1!Private experienceThe king of buckwheat noodles making and Japanese food in Sapporo!A plan to enjoy tempura!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sapporo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sapporo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket?
+
Included: Admission Ticket. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket?
+
The experience starts at Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar, Fushimi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, 064-0942, Japan. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mt. Moiwa Ropeway / Moriscar Ticket?
+
