The Matsuyamajō Ropeway (松山城ロープウェイ, Matsuyamajō Rōpuwei) is a Japanese aerial lift line in Matsuyama, Ehime, operated by the city government. Opened in 1955, the line goes to Matsuyama Castle on Mount Katsuyama. The former cabins were famous for being decorated like Edo period litter vehicles. There is also a chairlift line parallel to and beside the tramway.
