The Sumaura Ropeway (須磨浦ロープウェイ Sumaura Rōpuwei ) is Japanese aerial lift line in Kōbe, Hyōgo, operated by the Sanyō Electric Railway. Opened in 1957, the line climbs Mount Hachibuse of the Suma coast. At the summit, there is a transfer to the Carlator (カーレーター Kārētā ), a sort of escalator with baskets.
