Tenguyama Observation Deck — Attraction in Otaru

Tenguyama Observation Deck

This was my first visit here. I would say I was a little caught off guard with the cost of the gondola ride as it was ¥1400 per person round trip but in my opinion I’m paying for convenience so can’t complain.

Getting to the top they have created a few “rides”, activity centers, zip line and I read hot air balloon rides.

My brother chose to do the zip line and said it was great. I was not allowed as I had slippers on. Shoes are required for the zip.

I did get to ride on the metal slide that uses a cart. It’s pretty fast and fun.

Finished the visit at the cafe / restaurant.

The iced coffee is good.

I ate pasta with seafood and; it was great. My brother got the pizza and the taste was good.

I will say that in my opinion, the views are spectacular. It’s quiet and a nice place to enjoy life and what scenery the world provides.

Overall my experience was good.

• pro tip there is an upper parking area if you don’t want to use the gondola. Had we known this we may have driven but I’m glad we experienced the gondola...

View from this deck was good, however the price of the ticket is quite pricey, probably because of the cable car and also based on our experience it was too cold on the deck , so better to bring your jacket, gloves, and heat tech. On the top of the deck you will see an affordable souvenir shop it is beside the cafe.

FYI : be mindful of the time, you need to catch up with the bus and train schedule,

A breathtaking mountain top offering a stunning 360° panoramic night view of Otaru City. The ropeway ride takes about 6 minutes, leading to a scenic viewpoint that’s truly mesmerizing. The area also features a souvenir shop, a mini movie theater where you can learn about the history of the Tengu God in Japan, and a ski museum showcasing the evolution of skiing and ski equipment in Japan. The hilltop is quite windy, and it can get extremely cold during winter, so be sure to dress warmly. A must-visit spot for both nature lovers and history...
