A study is under way for the possible construction of a cable car that links 2020 Tokyo Olympics venues with a business area near the Ginza shopping district, said a mayor of the local municipal government.
A construction company is studying the feasibility of building a gondola lift that will connect Shiodome, on the western edge of Tokyo bay to Toyosu on the east, said Takaaki Yamazaki, Mayor of Koto ward, one of Tokyo’s 23 subdivisions. He declined to name the company involved because it’s still under discussion. The construction cost is estimated at 21.5 billion yen ($210 million), he said.
