Relieve Heat Stress! A Refreshing Summer Getaway
RISONARE introduces "Refreshing Summer Getaway," a travel style designed to relieve the stress of summer heat. With days exceeding 40°C now officially defined as "Intense Heat Days" (Kokushobi), Japanese summers are becoming increasingly severe each year. Going beyond a simple escape from the heat, we invite you to discover experiences where you can truly immerse yourself in the unique nature and culture of each region.

Escape the Heat at the Unkai Terrace
RISONARE Tomamu
At the Unkai Terrace, located 1,088 meters above sea level, guests can welcome a refreshing mountain morning with a dynamic sea of clouds rolling in right before their eyes. The terrace features a variety of unique viewing spots, including "Cloud Round"—a panoramic lookout introduced last year with benches suspended from a curved frame—and "Cloud Walk," which makes you feel as if you are strolling on top of the clouds.

In a scenic spot on the premises, the "Tingara Hammock"—named after the Milky Way—is set up. Yielding your body to the hammock, you can spend a luxurious time watching the starlit sky while feeling the cooling breeze.
