The Matsuyamajō Ropeway (松山城ロープウェイ, Matsuyamajō Rōpuwei) is a Japanese aerial lift line in Matsuyama, Ehime, operated by the city government. Opened in 1955, the line goes to Matsuyama Castle on Mount Katsuyama. The former cabins were famous for being decorated like Edo period litter vehicles. There is also a chairlift line parallel to and beside the tramway.
In February 2024, the ropeway was refurbished. The current lifts are the sixth generation of cabins to exist on the line.[1]
