See the Sunrise from Mount Norikura

A bus ride before dawn takes you to Tatamidaira for unparalleled sunrise views

Stand above the clouds and see the sunrise at Mount Norikura Tatamidaira, 2,702 meters above sea level. The Mount Norikura Sunrise Viewing Bus runs from boarding points in both Nagano and Gifu prefectures from late July to mid-September (closed to private vehicles). It leaves the mountain foothills before dawn and heads to the summit via the Norikura Skyline, a scenic mountain route with views over the Japanese Alps.
