Cloud Sea Terrace

Unkai Terrace of Tomamu: Above the Clouds

Tomamu, Hokkaido is an hour or two away from Shin-Chitose Airport and Obihiro Airport by car, and also about an hour from Furano, a popular tourist spot. Located at the southern end of Kamikawa region (Asahikawa area), visitors can enjoy the illusionary world of unkai in this area until the end of September. Unkai (means sea of clouds) is a miraculous sight created by the spectacular nature of Tomamu which only appears under certain weather and terrain conditions. If you get up early, enjoy the morning sunlight and hop onto the gondola which will take you to a mystical space you have never imagined before; a vast site of “Unkai Terrace.”

The Unkai Terrace in Alpha Resort Tomamu fascinates the visitors with the white carpet of cloud and the spectacular panorama of the Hidaka and Tokachi mountain peaks. As unkai only appears in a particular climate, some travelers even visit the terrace many times, waiting for the very moment to come. The unkai entry ticket also works as a postcard so that you can write down the memories and excitement of your trip and send it over to your friends and family. After enjoying breakfast (reservation required) at the Terrace, why don't you take a walk around the gondola station?

Should go before die? How lovely having coffee with someone special over there?
