The Rokkō Arima Ropeway (六甲有馬ロープウェー Rokkō Arima Rōpuwē?) is Japanese aerial lift line in Kōbe, Hyōgo, operated by Kōbe City Urban Development. Opened in 1970, the line links Mount Rokkō and Arima Onsen hot spring. The aerial lift was consisted of two lines, Ura-Rokkō Line (裏六甲線 Ura-Rokkō-sen?) and Omote-Rokkō Line (表六甲線 Omote-Rokkō-sen?). The latter, however, is currently out of service, because users shifted to cars and buses.
