Shin Hotaka Cable Car Ride

Should you happen to stay in Takayama or finish up with Kamikochi early, Shin Hotaka makes an interesting side trip. This is ideal if you don't want to climb to the peak of Kamikochi. My sisters and I decided to take the cable car to the peak of another mountain instead.
In all honesty, the cable car ride to the peak looked very promising. It was enjoyable and worth the experience. The problem was that it started to get really foggy, hence, the next two photos. When we reached the peak, it started to get really cold and the fog had reduced what would have been a fantastic view of the valley below to a white background. But it was a fun experience, nonetheless.
