For years, Unkai Terrace attracts tourists from all over the world because of the beautiful view of the sea of clouds, dreamy sunrise and views of the hills Hidaka and Tokachi that pierce soft clouds.



Unkai or literally a sea of clouds is a wonderful and magical view
like the fairy tales that attracts millions of tourists a year. Unkai
Terrace is located in the city of Shimukappu the island of Hokkaido in
Japan. Originally, terrace is opened as a resort, but soon became a
popular tourist attraction. Today many people come to the terrace to
enjoy the incredible view and a hot coffee. The Unkai terrace is located
at an altitude of 1100 meters. Clouds are formed exclusively in the
morning and the chance to create this daily spectacle is about 30 or 40%
possible. However, that all changed with the new ‘system of gondolas’,
organized transportation of tourists from the resorts to Unkai Terrace
transported for exactly 13 minutes.


That costs about 20 dollars per person. When the sea of clouds formed, restaurant is crowded by tourists which usually are about 1,000. The luckiest can take the place and get breakfast or a coffee enjoying the enchanting scenery that stretches in front of them. Unkai Terrace is open in the summer months until September with ‘gondola’ transport from the early morning hours, which is from 4:00 until 8:30, when the clouds disperse.
