Tenguyama offers two ways to enjoy its splendor. If you’re not a novice skier, testing your skills on its slopes might be a great idea.
The ski resort here is known for its steep slopes, making it ideal for advanced skiers. Many ski competitions are held here annually for this reason. Don’t miss the chance to tackle the ungroomed slopes with a maximum incline of 40 degrees.
While families can also enjoy the resort, the slopes are not beginner-friendly, so it’s recommended for intermediate and advanced skiers.
The other way to enjoy Tenguyama is by taking in the breathtaking views of Otaru from its summit.
The ropeway operates from 9 AM to 9 PM, allowing you to experience the stunning scenery both day and night.
The night view here has earned a one-star rating in the Michelin Green Guide Japan and is considered one of Hokkaido’s top three nightscapes.
At the summit, you’ll find the TENGUU Terrace and five observation decks, offering panoramic views of Otaru city below and the Sea of Japan in the distance.
TENGUU Cafe & Shop
In addition to table seating, there is a bar counter about 20 meters long along the windows. The shop offers original goods and souvenirs that can only be found here.
