Okuiya Kanko Shuyu Monorail moves slowly through the cool, lush crisp forest. The phytoncide given off by the plants and trees in the forest will give you a refreshing feeling. The monorail is very close to nature and thus gives you the feeling as if you are hiking up the mountain. You can take part in one of the popular Japanese health methods called forest bathing by breathing in the phytoncides given off by the plants surrounding the monorail’s route. This tourist-oriented monorail is electrically powered and thus environmentally friendly. The course takes passengers on a 4,600 meter long ride and reaches its highest point at 1,389 meters with some slopes being at 40 degrees in steepness!
