Magnificent scenery of Mt. Tanigawa spread out before your eyes
"Tanigawadake, a nearby and great mountain." As this saying goes, Mt. Tanigawa, which is listed in One Hundred Mountains of Japan, has been loved by many people since ancient time. The complex topography of deep valleys and dignified rocky ridges weaves the three-dimensional beauty of the landscape.
During winter, when Mt. Tanigawa is covered with thick snow, its three-dimensional landscape stands out even more. The contrast between the white snow and the blue sky is truly impressive, guaranteeing a taste of the extraordinary.
Restaurant

After going uphill by the ropeway, there is our observation restaurant, View Terrace Tenjin, located at an altitude of 1,319m (4,327ft). Enjoy your meal while admiring the Tanigawa Mountain Range through the window and relaxing in our European retro style interior.
