Café Alpina is a classic restaurant in the Sailer Hütte. You can eat while looking out at the ski slopes, and the official website offers information on Japanese and Western cuisine. This is a great place to take a break while looking at the snow outside the window on the day you ski at Uwanodai.
At Zao's large ski resort, you'll want to choose restaurants based on where you're skiing. If you're meeting your family or non-skiing companions for lessons at Uwanodai, share the Sailer Hütte building as a meeting place. If you are coming from the Yokokura side, please include a trip for lunch in your schedule.
Accommodation reservations on the official website are for Sailer Hütte rooms. If you are only visiting the cafe, please contact the facility to inquire about opening hours on the day of your trip, day use, and seating according to the number of people. If you would like to accommodate your child's meals or allergies, do not assume that it is possible based on the posted information alone; consult with us in advance.
The location is Zao Onsen Uwanodai 758. In winter, check which entrances are from the slopes and from the road side, and tell your companions who don't slip the directions from the road side to make it easier to merge. Please check the information on the day of your visit for opening hours and menu offerings.
