The terrace is positioned at the summit of the 'Panorama Lift' in the Sun Meadows Kiyosato resort.
The elevation of 1,900 meters makes it one of the highest accessible viewpoints in the Hokuto region.
The sofa seating is designed specifically to allow for unobstructed horizon viewing while lying down.
The site transitions back into a functional ski slope operation during the winter months.
On optimal days, the visibility extends to the Southern Alps, creating a 360-degree mountain panorama.
Kiyosato Terrace is a specialized observation deck located at an altitude of 1,900 meters atop the Sun Meadows Kiyosato ski resort. Accessible via a high-speed quad lift, the terrace provides panoramic views of the Yatsugatake Mountains and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji. The seating area features multi-level, cushioned sofa pods arranged on wooden decking designed for lounging. The onsite café serves regionally sourced refreshments, including iced coffees and fruit-based beverages. The facility is situated within the Yamanashi Prefecture highlands, known for cooler summer temperatures than the surrounding lowlands.

Bring a light windbreaker or sweater, as temperatures at the 1,900-meter summit are significantly cooler than at the base.
Check the official resort live camera feed before heading up to ensure cloud cover is not obscuring the view of Mt. Fuji.
Sun protection is essential, as the high-altitude UV intensity is stronger than at lower elevations.
Do not visit during heavy fog or rainy weather, as the primary attraction is the panoramic visibility, which disappears entirely in low-cloud conditions.
Operates as a seasonal attraction generally from late spring through early autumn; closed during winter to facilitate ski operations.
Avoid occupying the limited sofa pods for excessive periods when the terrace is crowded to allow others to enjoy the view.
