[2025 Yamanouchi Attraction] Travel Guide for Sora Terrace (Updated Apr)

#DragonKing Ski Resort The view and scenery is definitely 10 points, no longer need to say more. Remember to take the cable car and buy a pass to go to Soda Terrace. If you know how to ski, you don't have to buy a pass to take the cable car. The sea of ​​clouds is not often seen really have to hit your hands, sometimes it will be foggy and rainy, it is best to customize your own itinerary to ski. In terms of meals, the pastry soup ramen is very good value for money, but be sure to queue up before the peak time is more crowded. I I was so addicted to seeing a raccoon cat when I was about to leave😜 Address: Dragon King Ski Resort, Nagano Prefecture, Yamauchi-cho

Address: 381-0405 Yamase, Yamanouchi-cho, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture Take the gondola to the top of the mountain, and if the conditions are right, you can see the sea of ​​clouds from SORA terrace☁️ It's irresistible for those who love spectacular views😁 There is also a parking lot at the base🚗 There are spaces to relax around the terrace, such as hammocks, so you can relax. The inside of the building is also quite spacious, so you can kill time at the cafe while waiting for the sea of ​​clouds to appear☕️ Originally operated as a ski resort, you can enjoy the view from this terrace outside of the season⛰ During the autumn foliage season, as the gondola moves from the foot of the mountain to the top, you can see the leaves changing color and feel the four seasons🍁 It is quite far from Tokyo, so you can go for a day trip, but I think you can spend more time relaxing if you stay overnight☕️ If you're interested, please come and visit😊 #Nagano #spectacular view #Nagano trip #Nagano sightseeing #cafe #sea of ​​clouds #cafe tour

#EasternJapan SORA GLAMPING RESORT Glamping with a striking white dome surrounded by the mountains of Nagano. You can also ride the ropeway to SORA terrace, which has one of the highest cloud sea occurrence rates in Japan🚡. This will further increase your chances of encountering a sea of ​​clouds. Looking at the distant mountains while swaying in a hammock, enjoying a stylish and delicious dinner box and BBQ at night, and gazing at the starry sky while warming yourself by the bonfire are extraordinary experiences that will become irreplaceable memories. The tent is luxurious and fully equipped with a shower, toilet, and washroom at the front desk, so even a camping beginner like me could stay comfortably. #breathtakingview #outdoor #photogenicspot #glamping #nagano #nagano #turnaroundforopportunity #serendipitypilot_trip #minasol37 #Nihong #Japanconquest #soraterrace #soragrampingresort #soraterracecafe #RyuoMountainResort #SoraTerrace #SoraGlampingResort #SeaofClouds #cloudsea #ResoraImaizumiTerrace #CoupleTrip #Gourmet

On my recent trip to Nagano, Japan, I chose several ski resorts in Shiga Kogen, and from a scenic perspective, Ryuoo is my top recommendation. Ryuoo, also known as Ryuoo Ski Park, reaches a height of 1,930 meters. I recommend starting at the Skyland area at the summit, which features three ski trails: A, B, and C. I skied all of them. The Skyland area at the summit is less crowded, has great snow, and offers the best views in Shiga Kogen, being above the sea of clouds. The most famous trail, the Kiotoshi Route, is named for its 39-degree steep slope, where even logs roll down the mountain. With a super long cable car that holds 150 people, a 6-kilometer ski trail, and magnificent snow scenery, you can truly enjoy skiing here. The resort boasts the world's first scenic cable car and the Sora Terrace café at the summit. I was lucky to see the sea of clouds during my visit, making the trip worthwhile even without skiing. Nearby is Shibu Onsen, the inspiration for the bathhouse in 'Spirited Away,' where you can stay if you decide to ski at Ryuoo. It is recommended to rent a car or drive to Ryuoo Ski Park, as the only other option is the ski resort shuttle bus. 🚌: Take the Nagano Electric Railway from Nagano Station for 50 minutes to Yudanaka Station, where you will find the Ryuoo Ski Park shuttle bus stop. The bus runs every hour, so remember the return time. It's about a 20-minute ride to Ryuoo Ski Park. 💰: A full-day ski pass is 5,200 yen, and after 1 PM, you can buy a half-day pass for 4,200 yen, which includes unlimited cable car rides. If you're not skiing, you can purchase a scenic ticket for 4,000 yen for adults and 2,000 yen for children, which includes a round-trip snow vehicle ride from the entrance to the cable car station and a round-trip cable car ride to the Sora Terrace café. 💰 Ski equipment and lift pass: Full-day pass is 9,600 yen, half-day pass is 7,600 yen, including rental of ski wear and snowboard. 🎿 At the foot of the mountain, there is a children's playground and a beginner's area where free snowboards are provided for children to play. Note that the beginner's area is only open until 2 PM. Address: 11700 Yomase, Yamanouchi-machi, Shimotakai-gun, Nagano Prefecture.
