Hakone Ropeway

Is the Hakone Ropeway oporating its full length? Is the upgrading works finished?
Thanks

You can check the situations of the ropeway on the following website, where you would find that currently its operation for the east section is still suspended.

The suspension for a facility improvement work will last until Friday, the 14th of April 2017.
(Please pay attention also to days of the regular whole closure for maintenance works.)

Between Sounzan and Owakudani, a substitute bus service is available; however, a road traffic on the route may be so congested as to delay the bus operation.
Now the ropeway company, suggesting two routes, recommends that guests headed for Owakudani go to Togendai Station and use the ropeway.
