The best view of the sea of clouds is from the center!

Since Chichibu is surrounded by mountains, it is an area where mist covers the entire city, a natural phenomenon called the sea of clouds, is likely to occur. The weather conditions are perfect in April and November, which increases the chance of the phenomenon occuring by 50%. Furthermore, you can enjoy the Chichibu sea of clouds at night, when it creates a rare view of the city being half covered by clouds. You can check the occurrence probability of the sea of clouds from the following site. (Japanese only)
