Transport company JR Kyushu<\/a> has unveiled a proposal for an elevated ropeway connecting Hakata Station, the main train station of the city and just a couple of minutes from our Fukuoka Japanese school branch, with the convention center and waterfront 2km away. Just in case you also weren’t sure what a ropeway is, it’s gondolas hanging from a “rope”, often used to transport people up steep mountainsides and places like that. This would be the first ropeway in an urban area in Japan, and it’s being proposed as a cheaper alternative to extending the subway.<\/p>\n

To practice your reading skills, here is an article in Japanese about the plan<\/a>. If it’s a bit tough at your current level, there are extensions available for Chrome and Firefox that give you meanings and definitions for Japanese words on webpages you visit:
