Mount Hikami Cable Car
|
Mount Hikami Cable Car was built to stir up tourism at the mountain again. There was a big landslide soon after completion and it was abandoned. According to rumours, it is a famous ghost spot where ghosts are spotted in the car.[1] During the game it is unattended, but functional, and the characters operate it themselves to travel between locations on the mountain. Despite its reputation, the cable car itself seems to be one of the safer areas, since the player is never attacked inside the car.
There are three stations along the line.
Mikomori Station
The first station in the Mount Hikami cable car line, built for tourists visiting the mountain or those wishing to visit the shrine. There is a carpark near the station, for the use of tourists visiting by car. It also leads to the promenade around Mikomori Pond, and was convenient for the guests at Mikomori Hot Spring.
Forest Station
The middle point station on the cable car line, built on the edge of the Unfathomable Forest. It is simply constructed, with no roof, and was used by those who wished to visit the Shrine of Dolls or take a stroll through nature around the forest. Using this station, you can reach the Pool of Purification without climbing the steps or a steep slope. It also connects to the bus stop and the Hikami Tunnel station.
Ephemeral Station
The final stop on the Mt. Hikami cable car line. It takes people to and from the Shrine of the Ephemeral, and Twilit Peak and the Lake of the Departed at the top of the mountain. The cable car control room is here.
