Three Types of Sea of Clouds
There are three types of cloud seas with different views.
The first is a Pacific sea of clouds, which can be seen when sea fog generated off the eastern coast of Hokkaido is blown over the Tokachi Plain by southeasterly winds and over the Hidaka Mountains, and looks like a large waterfall.
The second type is the Tomamu sea of clouds, which can be seen when heat escapes into the sky and cooled air accumulates at the bottom of the basin-like topography (radiative cooling), and appears as a sea of clouds covering the resort at the foot of the mountain.
There is a bad-weather cloud sea that can be seen when the weather is bad or getting worse,
A layer of rain clouds and fog that occurs as if clinging to the mountains.
Cloud Walk
A deck designed to resemble the shape of clouds rising from the slopes of a mountain, allowing visitors to experience the sensation of walking on a sea of clouds in the air.
Cloud Pool
A huge hammock-like facility measuring approximately 10 meters in each direction.
Designed in the shape of clouds, the maximum height from the ground is approximately 8 meters, giving visitors the feeling of floating above the clouds on a net.

Climbing Mt.
From the gondola station at the top of Mt. Tomamu where the Sea of Clouds Terrace is located, the trail climbs to the top of Mt.
From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains, and if you are lucky, you will be surrounded by a sea of clouds.
