The runs are planned out pretty well. Beginners to intermediate skiers can have a lot of fun without feeling intimidated the moment they get up there.
The lift ride is smooth too. Best part: on a clear day you can see Mt. Iwate. Skiing with that view is a huge plus—you’ll keep wanting to stop and take photos.

Cape Chikyu

A scenic cape jutting into the Pacific Ocean from the southernmost tip of the Etomo Peninsula in Muroran, Hokkaido, where you can look out over the Pacific from cliffs rising more than 100 meters high. The cape offers a sweeping 360-degree panorama, and on clear days you can see Hokkaido Komagatake, Mount Esan in Hakodate, and even the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture. If you're lucky, you may also spot dolphins and whales migrating through the area from spring to summer.

Absolutely spectacular! As soon as you get there, you’re greeted by an endless blue ocean. The horizon where the sea meets the sky is so soothing, and on a clear day the view feels incredibly wide, like you’re standing at the edge of the world. The sea breeze is really strong, so hold onto your hat. The photos turn out amazing too. Definitely worth adding to your Hokkaido itinerary!

It's not just the exhibits inside that are worth seeing—the museum building itself has a lot of history and is definitely worth a visit.

Hakone Sightseeing Cruise

A sightseeing ship that operates on Lake Ashinoko, a scenic spot in Hakone. The three ships, Royale II, Victory, and Queen Ashinoko, are characterized by their colorful and luxurious decorations. Each of them has a capacity of about 500 passengers and takes 25 to 35 minutes each way between Togendai Port, Hakone-machi Port, and Moto-Hakone Port. On a sunny day, the open deck is a great place to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the pleasant breeze and the seasonal views of nature and mountains.

There's a special cabin on the boat that you have to pay extra for, but honestly, I felt it was a bit of a waste. I ended up spending most of my time on the upper deck enjoying the views and taking photos.

It's super crowded on weekends and holidays. Some of the more popular restaurants have really long waits during meal times. It's a lot better on weekdays, though.
