Mount Aso Ropeway
The Mt. Aso Ropeway (阿蘇山ロープウェイ, Asosan Rōpuwei) was Japanese aerial lift line in Aso, Kumamoto, operated by Kyūshū Sankō Tourism (九州産交ツーリズム, Kyūshū Sankō Tsūrizumu). It was opened in 1958, and climbs Mount Aso. Its official website claims it was the first aerial lift in the world to be built on an active volcano. [1] The ropeway has been dismantled as a result of damaged sustained during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes and a shuttle bus now runs from the original boarding area to the crater edge.

gollark: <@336962240848855040> Macron is a radical new esoteric programming language based on macros, designed by User:Lyricly in 2021. All that's known about this programming language is that it has been in development for at least six years, that its source code is publicly available, and that it is so esoteric that many programmers have already committed suicide while trying to learn it. When it was published, this text was posted at an Internet bulletin board on the user name of User:Lyricly, and included many errors.

gollark: Fits with BISMUTH.
