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