There was a small box at a corner in the gondola as shown below. Taking a close look, it was a first aid kit, in which a few dozen oxygen canisters were set. If the ropeway system doesn't work properly due to some sort of accident and the passengers got stranded in limbo, and additionally, the volcanic activities got dangerously harsh, what would become of the passengers? This kit would be prepared assuming such an awful situation. Looking down from the gondola, there were several people working to monitor the volcanic activities. I came away with the idea that the authorities are paying elaborate attention to both the tourism industry and the tourists' security.
