The second is Pacific type sea of clouds, the sea of clouds come over Mts Hidaka (日高山脈) after sea fog is cooled in the Pacific.

When I visited here, I saw nothing with view defectiveness. Just before the end of a gondola, weather cleared. Therefore I was able to see the small sea of clouds that occurred around twin towers (ツインタワー). Still I could not help moving by the mystery of nature. Other visitors were similar, and they cheered very much, too.
