Editor's Pick
Tanigawa Alpine Gratin at View Terrace Tenjin
THE FOOD SCENE
View Terrace Tenjin, above the ropeway, serves the resort's promoted Tanigawadake Pan Gratin. Tenjin Cafe is a lighter option near the observation deck, but operating days and pet access differ, so check the daily status.
APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE
The defining local après is an onsen visit in the Minakami 18 area. This is a quiet mountain base rather than a slopeside nightlife destination.
