View from the top of Yokoteyama

That's the view from the top of Mt. Yokote (Yokoteyama).

Here you can have a Japanese meal as lamen, oden and udon, in the 2nd floor of the lift building, or you can enjoy fresh bread, coffee, hot chocolate or some hot Russian meal as Stroganoff at the highest bakery of Japan. This bakery is also an amazing place to spend the night and be able to watch the sunset and sunrise from the top of Yokoteyama, 2.300 m above sea level.
