"SORA terrace"
Experience the ultimate clouds at an altitude of 1,770m
The world's largest 1,770-seater ropeway offers an unparalleled cloud experience at an altitude of 166m. SORA terrace, located on the summit of the mountain in an extraordinary space above the clouds and with crystal clear air, is built on a steep slope, and from its two-tiered terrace, a grand panoramic view of Nagano City, Nakano City, Iiyama City, and Kijimadaira Village unfolds before your eyes.
The sea of clouds at SORA terrace is most likely to occur in the evening, when the Northern Alps in front of you can be seen illuminated in orange by the setting sun. Conditions that make the sea of clouds more likely to occur include mornings and evenings when there is a large difference in temperature from daytime, and the morning after a sudden rain shower.
We especially recommend the Sunset Plus, a luxurious time when you can watch the sea of clouds and the sunset at the same time. A beautiful scene like a painting spreads out before you, and you can relax to your heart's content while feeling the grandeur and tranquility of nature.

Fruit sodas inspired by the ever-changing sky of the Dragon King. Sunrise Lemon (morning), Blue Sky Lime (afternoon), Sunset Orange (evening), Starry Night Lemon (night).
We decided to roast the beans to suit Ryuo's unique climate and water, resulting in a robust flavor with a hint of sweetness.
While full-bodied flavors have become more common in recent years, SORA Coffee is intentionally made mild so as not to interfere with the air or scenery.
Creamy soup resembling a sea of clouds is wrapped in a flaky pie.
This dish is made to look like a cloud, with cheese covering the bolognese. The fluffy cheese is grated right in front of the customer! The tartness of the tomato and the mellowness of the cheese are irresistible!
