🚇 Take the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line and get off at Sumaura Park Station. Go downstairs and you will see the ticket office of Sumaura Park. There are 3⃣ cable cars along the way. It is recommended to buy a package ticket🎫 which is more cost-effective. If you don’t want to buy a ticket, you can also climb the mountain. The height is not too high~
🚡 Cable Car 1⃣: After buying the ticket, go upstairs and take the big cable car up the mountain. There is an observation deck and a revolving restaurant here. The view is vast. You can see the endless sea opposite and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in the distance. The scenery is beautiful
🚡Cable Car 2⃣: The small cable car is very interesting. Sitting in the car is like being on a conveyor belt for transporting luggage.
🚡 Cable Car 3⃣: A single-person cable car without any protection, close to the ground, but it is still not recommended for the elderly

🎡Take Cable Car 3 to reach Sumaura Mountain Park. There are plum trees and cherry blossoms on the mountain. When we went there, the plum blossoms had almost fallen, and the cherry blossoms 🌸 had not yet bloomed. It was a bit of a pity. I will go there next time!

🌞When you come here, you must ride a monorail tandem bicycle🚴, it only costs 200 yen, you can see the beautiful scenery in the distance, the sun is bright, the scenery is pleasant, it is very healing❤

After going down the mountain, it is recommended to go to the beach opposite 🌊 for a walk. There are few people and beautiful scenery. You can also sit on the beach to have lunch and drink a cup of coffee 🏝 It is really comfortable!

📌Tips:
✅The cable car is not open every day, please check the official website before going
🚃Transportation: Take the Hanshin Main Line from Osaka Umeda Station to Higashi-Suma Station (you may not need to change trains and continue on the same train) and transfer to the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line and get off at Sumaura Park
🎫Tickets: Adult package 1800 yen (including 3 cable car round trips) #Osaka itinerary
