[2025 Komono ] Travel Guide for Gozaisho Ski Area (Updated Jul)

The view from the ropeway was amazing, with the ocean, landscapes, strange rocks, and other unusual rocks. I'd like to see the colors of the mountains in each season. Like autumn leaves🍁 It runs every minute, so it was a smooth ride. I shared the ride on the way there, but on the way back I had the ride to myself. The ropeway tower is the tallest white iron tower in Japan👏👏 The mountain park has a paved promenade where you can stroll around and see the plants, which is very fun. It's windy at the top, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. You'll sweat while walking. If you want to take it easy to the top after getting off the ropeway, you can easily get there by taking the single-seater lift. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Walking was quite tiring, so I took the lift on the way down. The soft serve ice cream I had at the restaurant was delicious Ropeway 2450 yen round trip for adults, 1500 yen one way 1220 yen for children, 750 yen one way There seems to be a pet fee too. 🐶 Parking was 1000 yen for a regular car. 9am to 5pm Varies depending on the season Yunoyama Onsen, Komono-cho, Mie-gun, Mie Prefecture #amazingview #gw2023 #trip

Although the glacier waterfall in Gozaisho is small, it is a beautiful sight. You can play in the snow and enjoy the scenery. It is recommended to come and take a walk

At Nagoya Station, find the Meitetsu bus building on the second floor. There is a direct bus and you can take it on the second platform. There is one bus going there and two buses returning. You can pay in cash or with Suica cards. Duration: About 1.5 hours Buy a round trip cable car ticket: 15 minutes Walk another 8 minutes to the sledding area, where you can rent a sled for 600 yen. Free coffee When you get tired of sledding, you can go indoors to keep warm. Reminder: You must wear snowshoes to prevent them from getting wet and prevent slipping In winter, there are limited tree frost and icefall, which is worth visiting.

Essentials for sledding Wool socks or thick warm socks, water-repellent gloves, Waterproof pants, wool hats, I simply bought all four of them at Workman, and also found Merino wool five-toe socks for ¥390 a pair. I wear Timberland waterproof boots and my wife uses UGG, but the important thing is to buy wearable snow claws. The solid feeling of walking on ice gives me peace of mind. In addition, sunglasses are very useful, so you don't squint all day long. However, if you choose to ski or snowboard, it doesn't matter what shoes you wear, just rent snowshoes
