・Ryuoo MOUNTAIN RESORT "SORA TERRACE"
Located at about 1,800 meters above sea level, take the world's largest aerial cable car to the sea of clouds and overlook the entire Northern Shinshu and Northern Alps. This place is an area with a high probability of sea of clouds occurring. When the sea of clouds appears, you feel like you are on top of the sky. This dreamy world is intoxicating. You can also overlook the entire Ryuoo Zone and enjoy the spectacular plateau scenery. It is recommended to buy some local snacks at the nearby store and enjoy the sea of clouds and white snow in a warm room!
※You need to purchase an additional cable car ticket to ride. The snow bus officially operated by the ski resort can take you to and from the cable car station and the bus terminal. If necessary, please make a reservation with our company in advance.
・Jigokudani Monkey Park
"Jigokudani Monkey Park" is located at the foot of the North Shiga Plateau and is world-famous for the fact that wild Japanese macaques bathe in the local hot spring pools in winter. Every year, many tourists from all over the world take photos of the monkeys enjoying the hot springs amid the smoke and snow. You can take a local bus from Yudanaka Station to the entrance of "Jigokudani Monkey Park". It takes about 30 minutes to walk from the entrance to the attraction. Please wear appropriate boots! (Admission fee is 800 yen for adults, please pay by yourself)
・Shibu Onsen Kanaguya
Located in the famous Shibu Onsen in Nagano Prefecture, it has a history of nearly 300 years. Since it was the blacksmithing house of Lord Matsushiro at the time, it still used the original Japanese name of "Kanaguya" after it was converted into a hotel. It is now registered as a Japanese "Registered Tangible Cultural Property". Overseas, this place is famous as the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece "SPIRITED AWAY"! After lighting up the lights at night, the "Aburaya" reappears like a movie scene, making it as mysterious as entering a fantasy world! In addition, the old streets around the hotel also have a strong Showa style, and you can feel the tranquil and leisurely northern mood in the snow!
