Standing at 3,969ft above sea level, Mount Gozaisho is the highest peak in the Suzuka Mountain ranges which is an hour travel from Nagoya, Japan. There are two options to reach the summit. The first one is by trekking up along the mountain by following the established trail which can be reached in two or three hours depending on one's pacing. And the other option is via a cable car known as the Gozaisho Ropeway which is Japan's longest ropeway which only took or you can do it in 12 minutes to arrive at the summit.

Each route offers a distinct experience and view in itself. The walking trail passes through a forested part with moderate assault that requires the use of bamboo ladders, ropes and chains to help one cross ravines and passed by jagged rocks with sheer drops on some portions. On the otherhand, the cable car travels over the treetops which offers a birds-eye view of cliffs, crags and rock formations.

On a clear day, Mt Gozaisho's summit offers a commanding view of Yokkaichi, Ise Bay and the Japan Alps, the Lake Biwa and, even the faint Mount Fuji which is nearly 300 km away. The summit also marks the border between Mie Prefecture and Shiga and the center of the Suzuka Quasi National Park. 

Depending on the season, during winter the view is mostly white and silver shining frost covered trees with snow-laden ski grounds. During spring it is filled with fresh cherry blossom and bright pink azaleas. While during summer the whole place is filled with lush green vegetation and the autumn season offers a stunning red, yellow and gold of the fallen leaves. Whatever season, Gozaisho offers a different experience all year round.
