箱根ロープウェイ（のスタッフ一員として）からお知らせ。21日（土）より桃源台～姥子間で一部営業再開します。

The important announcement from Hakone Ropeway（as a member of the staff）. The partial operation of the ropeway between Togendai and Ubako will resume from September 21st （Sat）. But the ropeway between Sounzan and Ubako will be suspended still more, so nobody is allowed to visit Owakudani famous for a volcano. Thank you for your understanding in advance.
