[Hokkaido x 3 nights 4 days trip] Hoshino Resorts Tomamu's signature spot "Sea of Clouds Terrace"
📍Hoshino Resort Tomamu The Tower
Naka Tomamu, Shimukappu Village, Yufutsu District, Hokkaido
✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲
The reason I chose this place for accommodation is... "Unkai Terrace"
You have to take a gondola to get to the Unkai Terrace.
Unkai Gondola Basic Fee: 1,900 yen for adults, 1,200 yen for elementary school students, 500 yen for pets
*Free for guests staying at Tomamu The Tower and RISONARE Tomamu
There is a shuttle bus to the gondola, but there is also a walking course (about 10 minutes).
Please refer to the Hoshino Resorts Tomamu website, which announces the probability of the sea of clouds occurring the next day by 3:00 p.m.
I heard that the gondola gets crowded around 5:00 a.m.,
(I waited 40 minutes on this day as well)
so I went at a different time, around 6:00 a.m.
▶️In the Unkai Shop next to the postbox, you can choose postcards with various sea of clouds, so you can drop them off at this postbox without putting a stamp on them.
If you go down from the left side of the terrace, you will find a place where you can enjoy the spectacular view from the top of the mountain even more.
▶️First up is the Cloud Bar
This is an observation spot that is designed to look like a bar counter where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the sea of clouds and the sunrise.
There is a counter about 3 meters above the ground and about 13 meters long, with chairs lined up.
There are two types of chairs, one for one person and one for two people,
and a maximum of 7 people can use it.
You can climb the ladder attached to the chair and sit
as if you are floating in the mountain scenery.
You will have to wait quite a while here.
▶️Cloud Bed
An observation spot that is modeled after the "cloud particles" that make up the clouds.
A series of elastic cushions are set up so that you can lean on, sit on, and enjoy the sea of clouds as if you were on top of a cloud.
Going even higher...
▶️Cloud Pool
An observation spot like a giant hammock in the shape of a cloud.
It is up to about 8 meters above the ground😅 and is quite high.
You can enjoy the feeling of floating on the clouds while looking at the magnificent scenery.
This place is also quite crowded.
▶️They offer "Cloud Soft Serve" and "Cloud Macaroons", sweets that represent fluffy clouds.
"Sea of Cloud Coffee" with cloud-shaped marshmallows, "Sea of Cloud Soda" with cotton candy like clouds, and more.
You can enjoy the view and relax on the indoor sofas while enjoying cloud-themed drinks and sweets.
I wanted a cloud soft serve, but it was very popular and I had to wait 20 minutes.
I gave up and had a sea of cloud soda.
