Beatuiful Blossoms
Yumenotaira serves as a ski field in the winter, but when October arrives, the verdant hillsides burst into bloom, turning the slopes white and pink. The one-week long Tonami Yumenotaira Cosmos event in early October offers a rare opportunity to see such a high concentration of the flowers in one place.
The lift offers sweeping views of Tonami—a city with a traditional atmosphere, and brightly-colored Cosmos flowers.
