The Kankakei Ropeway (寒霞渓ロープウェイ Kankakei Rōpuwei?) is Japanese aerial lift line in Shōdoshima, Kagawa. This is the only line Shōdoshima Sōgō Kaihatsu (小豆島総合開発? "Shōdoshima General Development") operates. The line opened in 1963. It climbs Kankakei (寒霞渓?), a gorge in Shōdoshima Island. The gorge is known for its unique view, made by diastrophisms and erosions.
