Enjoy Shiga Kogen in Autumn! Sunset & Sea of Clouds Challenge Tour
In the evening, why not take Sachi-no-Yu’s shuttle bus to Yokoteyama Drive-In (2,000 m elevation) to watch the sunset?
It’s one of the “100 Best Sunset Spots in Shinshu.”
On clear days you can enjoy a beautiful sunset, and when conditions are right you may also see a sea of clouds spreading out below.
If you’re especially lucky, you might even witness a “waterfall cloud,” where clouds spill over the mountain like a cascading waterfall.
Autumn is the best season for seas of clouds—right now is peak time.
That said, it all depends on the day’s weather—so it’s a true “challenge.”
[Dates] Daily during Silver Week (9/19–9/26); Saturdays only in September and October outside that period
[Departure] Around 5:30 PM (departure time will be adjusted to match sunset)
[Duration] About 1 hour (approx. 15 minutes by car from Sachi-no-Yu)

Enjoy views of mountains tinted with autumn colors as we head toward Yokoteyama.
