[Sightseeing spots around the ski resort (visit at your own expense)]
Dragon King Mountain Resort "Sora Terrace"
Located at an altitude of approximately 1,800 meters, take the world's largest aerial cable car to ascend above the sea of clouds, offering panoramic views of northern Shinshu and the Northern Alps. This area has a high probability of experiencing a sea of clouds; when it appears, you feel as if you are on the summit of the sky—a truly enchanting and dreamlike world. You can also overlook the entire Ryuo region and admire the spectacular highland scenery. We recommend buying some local-exclusive snacks at the nearby shop and enjoying the spectacle of the sea of clouds and snow-capped peaks from the warm indoor space!
*A cable car ticket is required to ride the cable car. The official snow shuttle bus operated by the ski resort will provide round-trip service between the cable car station and the bus terminal. Please make a reservation with our company in advance if needed.
Jigokudani Monkey Park
Jigokudani Monkey Park, located at the foot of the Kitashiga Kogen mountain range, is world-renowned for its wild Japanese macaques that bathe in the local hot springs during winter. Every year, many tourists from around the world take photos with the monkeys enjoying the hot springs amidst the steam and snow. You can take a local bus from Yunanaka Station to the entrance of Jigokudani Monkey Park. It's about a 30-minute walk from the entrance to the park; please wear appropriate boots! (Admission fee is 800 yen for adults, payable separately.)
Shibu Onsen Hardware House
Located in the famous Shibu Onsen in Nagano Prefecture, this hotel boasts nearly 300 years of history. Originally a blacksmith shop owned by the Matsushiro Domain lord, it retained its original Japanese name, "Kinguya," even after becoming a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn). It is now registered as a "Registered Tangible Cultural Property" in Japan. Internationally, it is renowned as the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece, "Spirited Away." When illuminated at night, the bathhouse transforms into a scene straight out of the movie, creating a mystical atmosphere reminiscent of a fantasy world. Furthermore, the surrounding old streets possess a strong Showa-era charm, offering a tranquil and leisurely northern atmosphere, especially in the snow.
