Okurayama viewpoint: chairlift and competition days

Okurayama’s viewpoint is reached by lift above the ski-jump stadium. Competitions and official training can suspend the lift; normal opening hours alone are not enough to plan a visit.

Where should I start?

Tourism guidance describes a two-seat chairlift, not an enclosed gondola. Check child and boarding conditions before visiting.

Planning this outing

Consider whether an open chairlift suits your child and ask the venue if unsure. Choose between Okurayama and Moiwa using transport and operating conditions rather than requiring both.

Questions before you go

Is the lift an enclosed cable car?

Tourism guidance describes a two-seat chairlift, not an enclosed gondola. Check child and boarding conditions before visiting.

Can I use the viewpoint lift on competition days?

Public lift service can stop for competitions or training. Check dated notices and current status; an old notice is not today’s operating report.

Does a lift closure also close the museum?

Lift and Olympic Museum operations are announced separately. The museum may remain open during a lift suspension; check each facility.
