A fantastic world with a sea of clouds

The world’s largest ropeway with a capacity of 166 passengers takes you through the clouds to the top of Ryuohsan (Mt. Ryuoh) at an altitude of 1,770 meters.
Ryuoh at an elevation of 1,770 meters. The panoramic view spreads out before you.
The panoramic view extends as far as the Northern Alps and Mount Myoko below.

In summer, Ryuoh Marsh is a popular tourist destination as a place to experience alpine flora and various other natural features.
If the conditions are right, a sea of clouds can be seen below.

The park also offers trekking and hiking, as well as various events and other activities.
