About Biwako Terrace
Biwako Terrace offers a sophisticated resort for adults and delivers soaring views looking out over the lake.
There are two terraces, each with their own character, atop two mountains.
Enjoy a luxurious and relaxing time in a very special setting.
The Main
By ropeway, arrive at the top of Mt. Uchimi at an altitude of 1,108 meters in around five minutes. The Main is a large terrace complex next to Ropeway Summit Station.
There are two terraces: the Grand Terrace, a space that is emblematic of The Biwako Terrace, and the North Terrace overlooking the northern side of the lake. Both spacious wooden terraces enable you to enjoy the view of the lake.
After a leisurely walk, relax and enjoy a special moment on a sofa or chair while admiring the majestic view of Lake Biwa. Alternatively, you can enjoy a meal at the Terrace Café. You can also visit the Infinity Lounge, a paid, private area with a sofa that is operated on a first-come-first-served basis.
Café 360
Take two other lifts from the top ropeway station to Café 360 located at the 1,174m summit of Mt. Horai, the highest point of Biwako Valley.The large arched wooden deck offers 360-degree panoramic views of Lake Biwa, the cityscapes of Kyoto and Osaka and the mountains along the coast of the Sea of Japan. At times, one can even catch a glimpse of the 3,000 peaks of the Southern Alps.
