Preserved first- and second-generation gondolas displayed at Ubako Station on the Hakone Ropeway — great for transport history, industrial detail, and framing against Hakone's volcanic landscape. Visit weekday mornings or late afternoon for soft light and fewer tourists. Station is accessible on foot from nearby parking and bus stops; expect some sulfur haze midday in Owakudani. No special entry formalities; compact display suitable for quick handheld or tripod work.
