Sora terrace is usually open from spring to autumn, and we recommend visiting during that season.

Sea of clouds – a fantastic natural phenomenon

One of SORA terrace’s most famous attractions is the sea of clouds.

A sea of clouds is a fantastic landscape provided by nature, and if the conditions are right, it will spread out.

During the summer season, the probability of a sea of clouds occurring is extremely high, over 80%.

The moment the sea of clouds spreads out, it gives you the feeling of floating on a sea of air.

The view from SORA terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful view of the sea of clouds spreading across the valley.

In the evening, SORA terrace offers a different charm.

You can enjoy the moment when the sun sets at your same line of sight. The moment when the sunset and the sea of clouds come together creates a truly magical space.

The sky is colored in various beautiful shades, leaving a deep impression on visitors.
