Last autumn, a new spot called "COCORU Terrace" appeared at the summit of "Gozaisho Ropeway" in Komono Town, Mie Prefecture. You can ride a swing installed 7 meters out from the mountainside, enjoying a thrilling experience and a spectacular view. In addition to the magnificent scenery, you can also fully enjoy Mie's specialty gourmet foods at "Gozaisho Ropeway." Yoshi reported on its charms.

To the summit at an altitude of 1200m! An aerial stroll to enjoy by ropeway

Located in Komono Town, Mie Prefecture, "Gozaisho Ropeway" is a tourist facility connecting "Yunoyama Onsen," known as a "beautiful skin hot spring," with the summit of Mt. Gozaisho, which is about 1200m above sea level. It is known as a popular spot where many people visit from within and outside the prefecture to enjoy the scenery of the four seasons.

"The base is 400m above sea level, and the summit is 1200m. You can enjoy a 15-minute ropeway ride with an altitude difference of about 800m."

This season, the mountainside is colored with fresh green, typical of spring. After a 15-minute ride in the gondola, we finally arrive at the summit.

A spectacular terrace appears! A thrilling swing protruding from the mountainside

Yoshi, who landed on the summit. What first caught his eye was a swing that stood out even from a distance.

"That is the 'COCORU Terrace' which just opened in the autumn of 2025. There is a swing that protrudes 7 meters from the mountainside, offering a thrilling experience."

From the terrace, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Gozaisho's nature and Ise Bay. When asked for their impressions, the children present replied, "It's not scary" and "It's very beautiful." Yoshi sighed, muttering, "As expected of children..." but was prompted by the staff to try it himself.

"Wow, scary! Today the sky is blue and the scenery is beautiful. It's thrilling, but when the wind comes, it feels good. You can enjoy riding the swing as the scenery changes in summer and autumn. It was an exhilarating view!"

Yoshi experienced the thrill and spectacular view with his whole body. The open view, where you can see all the way to Ise Bay under the spring blue sky, is truly breathtaking.

Irresistibly chewy! Specialty gourmet "Gozaisho Curry Udon"

After enjoying the thrilling swing, take a break at the "Observation Restaurant Nature" within the facility. What was brought to the table was the specialty gourmet "Gozaisho Curry Udon."

"We use Ise Udon, a specialty of Mie Prefecture."

(Yoshi)
"Mmm, delicious! The chewy texture of Ise Udon and the thick curry! It's a curry udon with a deep flavor and spices. And you can enjoy it while looking at this scenery. This is the best!"

The extra-thick noodles unique to Ise Udon are exquisitely intertwined with the thick, spicy curry. A bowl enjoyed in the refreshing air of the summit is exceptional! You can experience a special moment here that can only be enjoyed with the view of the mountains spreading outside the window.

(Yoshi)
"Today's recommended catchphrase! 'Gozaisho Ropeway: Why not wander around the new curry spot?'"

Why not enjoy the spectacular view from the thrilling and exhilarating swing?
