A Sun set service is available on selected dates. Enjoy stunning views of the majestic Mt Yotei as the sunsets on one of Hokkaido’s most famous peaks.

Hokkaido’s indigenous Ainu people call Mt. Yotei “Machineshiri (woman mountain)” while Mt. Shiribetsu, which is connected to Mt. Sorioi, is known as “Pinneshiri (man mountain).” Traditionally, these two mountains have been considered as the “married couple mountains.” According to Ainu mythology, Mt. Yotei was the first part of land created by God, which then expanded to form Hokkaido. According to feng shui, Mt. Sorioi (West Mt.) is believed to act as the dragon vein (pipeline) for the energy produced by Mt. Shiribetsu, with the “dragon’s head” part supplying energy packed with shu-aura and ki-aura. Shu-aura is a source of energy and feelings of wealth, while ki-aura is believed to help raise your social status. Thanks to these two beneficial auras, this scenic locale is indeed a very lucky place.

During the winter season, Yotei Panorama Terrace offers unrivalled views across the landscape. From this outdoor landmark, skiers and snowboarders can directly access several trails. Keep in mind that you need a lift ticket to ride the gondola.
