An an amazing position with views of Mt Yotei Mt. Annupuri and the Shiribeshi river. The cliff at the bottoim of Hirafu village is surprisingly steep. Take a rope if you even try to take a look down there!

The summer gondola operates on the Ace Quad Lift #2 Center 4 lift and is the easiest way up the mountain. There are lots of hiking trails but if you are in a hurry the gondola is the go !

Spring groomed runs are a good option early in the morning and the top of the Swinging Monkey lift is a good spot to either head over to Hanazono or take a fast run down the steep section of the Jumbo run .
