Okuiya Sightseeing Tour Monorail

Reviewed By kalokchan9 - Naha, Japan

70mins ride only charge me 2000yens. It is unbelievable. The ride climb up to 1380m from around 800m above sea level. The vehicle is slow and you can totally enjoy the fresh air in the forest. I saw a deer amongst wood. And I was thinking if I would see other animal like bear. Lucky not. Come an enjoy the fresh air bath with the ride!

Kankakei Ropeway

First formed by the volcanic activities of 13 million years ago, a long time of 2 million years had created such a rare and beautiful geography.Kanakei Gorge, considered one of the three most beautiful valleys in Japan, is boast of world famous scenic beauty of unique shaped rock cliffs decorated with colorful trees. You can feel the breathtaking nature full of thrills and dynamism by the 5 minutes Ropeway ride with the height difference of 317m, and the total length of 917m. Visitors can also enjoy the different views depending on the season. Feel tender green of new leaves in spring, fresh green in summer, red and yellow leaves in autumn, and quiet valley, sometimes with snow in winter.

Rented a car from Orix Car Rental which is a short walk from Tonosho Port (came from Okayama New Port) Arrived at the ropeway at 11am. Managed to get on to the ropeway before a tour group did so it took us less than 10 mins in line. Autumn colours were in their peak and it was gorgeous the entire way up to the summit station. There were several viewing spots and souvenir shops on the summit. Spent about 45 mins up there before taking the doorway down again. There was a long line when we disembarked and it looked like a hour wait at least. So go early and hopefully there's no tour group in line with you!

Bocchan Train

Reviewed By PeterthePauper - Ulsan, South Korea

Using Matsuyama as a base for a 5-day visit to Shikoku, I set aside my final day for "seeing the sights" of Matsuyama. Armed with a 1-day tram ticket, I worked my from Matsuyama City Station across the city to Dogo Onsen Station, taking in the likes of Ropeway Street and Matsuyama Castle on the way. The original Iyo Railway (Iyotetsu) was established in 1888 as the 1st railway in Shikoku and only the 3rd private railway in the whole of Japan. The original steam trains (immortalised in Natsume Soseki's 1906 novel - 'Botchan'), were decommissioned after the Iyotetsu introduced electric cars in the 1930's. With Soseki's growing status (as the greatest writer in modern Japanese history), the Botchan Train' was reborn in 2001, with diesel replicas of the original steam locomotives, which to any purist railway buff (like me!) this should be a cardinal sin. After a day of frequently catching glimpses of this anomaly clanking its' way through the streets of Matsuyama ..... turning heads, smiles and waves ..... I just had to give it a go! Getting to Dogo Onsen just before the last Botchan train departure in late afternoon, I climbed aboard with no idea where the train was headed. The two 4-wheeled cars are equipped with fairly basic accommodation; hard wooden benches down either side of the car. Although the two cars probably hold a total of about 36 passengers, I was the only passengers on this last train and was somewhat surprised to find its' final destination was actually Komachi Station. Not to worry ..... just hop on a tram to my next destination (Diamond Cross). It may be a "diesel in disguise" ..... but what a delight!

Rail line goes north,south,east & west within Kochi City. With a 1 day pass you can hop off & on where you like, tickets can be purchased on board the train for 500 yen per adult.The ticket also entitles you to discounts & benefits at some of the tourist attractions along the train routes. Just get yourself a map and work out what you want to see, it is fairly easy to navigate the routes.
