The Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway (舞鶴若狭自動車道, Maizuru-Wakasa Jidōsha-dō) is a national expressway in Japan. It is owned and operated by West Nippon Expressway Company. It is signed as E27 under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s “2016 Proposal for Realization of Expressway Numbering.”[1]

Route description

Officially the expressway is referred to as the Kinki Expressway Tsuruga Route. This designation applies to the Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway as well as the Chūgoku Expressway beyond Yokawa Junction to Suita Junction.

The route of the expressway connects the coastline of the Japan Sea and the greater Osaka urban area by traversing the mountainous interior of the Kinki region.

Using the expressway to travel between the Chūgoku Expressway, Sanyō Expressway and Hokuriku Expressway is shorter and cheaper than using expressways that traverse a route via the greater Osaka urban area.

The expressway is 4 lanes from Yokawa Junction to Fukuchiyama Interchange and Ayabe Interchange to Ayabe Parking Area and the remainder is 2 lanes. Construction to expand the route to 4 lanes is currently underway on the section between Fukuchiyama Interchange and Ayabe Interchange and Ayabe Parking Area and Maizuru-Nishi Interchange. The speed limit is 80 km/h on 4-laned sections and 70 km/h on 2-laned sections.

The Kobe Nunobiki Ropeway is a cableway (ropeway) that runs from Shin -Kobe in Chuo Ward , Kobe City , Hyogo Prefecture to Mt. It is the only means of transportation to go to Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden [1] .

Overview
It connects Herb Garden Sanroku Station near Shin-Kobe Station and Herb Garden Sancho Station [2] [3] . Kaze-no-Oka Intermediate Station is set up as an intermediate station on the way [2] .

Since its opening, it has been operated by the Kobe City Urban Development Corporation (currently the Kobe Living Environment Corporation ) as the “Shin-Kobe Ropeway” [2] , but in April 2009 the city of Kobe acquired equipment and facilities [4] . It was redeveloped as a PFI business and reopened on April 1, 2011 [5] . Currently, the facility is owned by Kobe City and is operated by Kobe Resort Service under the Railway Business Act . [2] [6]

From April 1, 2006 , the Kiyosato Highland Park Kobe Office ( NC Resort Management Group ), which operates a leisure facility in Yamanashi Prefecture , has been operated along with the Nunobiki Herb Garden business through the introduction of a designated manager system . However, the chronic deficit was not eliminated, and management rights were transferred to Kobe Resort Service on April 1, 2010, when the designated manager contract with the company ended [5] [7] .

At the time of renewal in 2011, the name was changed from “Shin-Kobe Ropeway” to “Kobe Nunobiki Ropeway” [5] , and station names and fares were also changed [8] .

The nickname of this ropeway is “Dream Balloon”.
