1.Experience the breathtaking beauty of “Gozaisho Mountain”  [16 February 2024]

Experience the breathtaking beauty of “Gozaisho Mountain” in Mie Prefecture. Throughout every season—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—Gozaisho Mountain offers an infinite unique landscape.

In winter, a white blanket of snow covers the entire mountain. After arriving at the peak of the mountain by the Gozaisho Ropeway, everyone was enchanted by the wonderful scenery right in front of them.

From the observatory on the top of Gozaisho Mountain, we witnessed stunning panoramic views of Ise Bay, the sea, and the cityscape.
This winter was the first time after 4 years that we could appreciate the “Tenku no Hyobaku”, an ice sculpture famous for the poetry conveying Gozaisho Mountain’s winter beauty.

This natural artistry also stands as one of the popular scenic attractions in Gozaisho Mountain.
