"The Gold Lounge" opens in the Center House!
A relaxing space has opened on the second floor of the Center House, turning the time your child spends skiing into a reward time rather than just a waiting time. It is a place that will relieve parents of the worries of waiting outside in the cold or tiring of finding a seat at lunch.
The area is divided into two areas based on purpose. One is the self-service "Stand Cafe Area," perfect for those who want to quickly finish their meal and get to skiing, or for those who are called in unexpectedly. The other is the "Lounge Area," where you can relax with a one-drink-per-day policy. It also has a multipurpose room for nursing and diaper changing, making it a safe place for those with small children.
Both areas offer single-plate menus, tapas, and sweets based on authentic Italian cuisine from Bracceria Rotondo, which has locations in Kobuchizawa and Hiroo, Tokyo. It's a spot offering a new gourmet experience that will make you want to come even if you're not skiing.
