This resort is huge. The first time you come, the scale really blows you away.
Whether you’re here to ski, hit the amusement park, or stay at the hotel, it’s all one-stop and super convenient.
In winter, the snow quality on the slopes is excellent. Both beginners and advanced skiers can have a good time.
In summer, it turns into full-on amusement park mode with a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and more. Kids will absolutely go wild here.
There are plenty of dining options, but prices are on the high side—it is a resort after all.
Overall, it’s very comfortable and easy. Perfect for families or anyone who just wants to relax without thinking too much or changing locations all the time.

Tsu Station
A major station on the JR Central Kisei Main Line, located in the center of Tsu City, the capital of Mie Prefecture. In addition to JR, it is also a transportation hub served by the Kintetsu Nagoya Line and the Ise Railway Ise Line. With multiple rail lines converging here, it plays an important role in supporting efficient travel within the prefecture and beyond.
It’s not the kind of station that makes you go “wow” the second you arrive, but it has everything you need. The station is clean, and the layout is pretty easy to follow, so transferring trains or heading out isn’t too confusing.
The area around it feels like a typical local city, with restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so it’s fairly convenient for grabbing a meal or waiting for your train. That said, it’s not especially lively, so it’s not really a place you’d want to hang around for long.
Overall, it feels like a low-key, everyday kind of station. If you’re just passing through or transferring, it’s smooth and hassle-free. It probably won’t leave a strong impression, but it gets the job done well. -
Mt. Otowa Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Opened in the year 778, the temple was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1994. In the 130, 000 m2 area of the precincts spread out on the hillside of Mt. Otowa, there are more than 30 cathedrals and monuments, including national treasures and important cultural properties.
There are a lot of tourists, but everything is pretty orderly. For such a popular spot, it actually feels pretty comfortable.

Taiyo Park
Taiyo Park is a truly one-of-a-kind theme park where you’ll find hyper-detailed models of famous international landmarks dotted across its larger-than-life 140,000-meter grounds. Visit here for a showcase of over 3,000 sculptures and replicas representing about 70 famous structures from around 20 countries and regions.
When the weather's nice, the whole park looks like a dream. It totally feels like you're abroad! Even on weekends, it's not too crowded, so you can take your time strolling and snapping photos at your own pace.
