Great place to visit! It’s small but it’s unique

The serenity and beauty of the surrounding Sugi Tree gardens coupled with the constant sound of running water is absolutely out of this world. The stately Sugi trees surrounding the shrine is also a sight to behold. What is most interesting though is the architecture of the shrine is a Japanese invention, it goes back to approximately 1800 years ago before Buddhism came to Japan and it's Chinese form of architecture. This shrine predates the Ise Jinja in Mie ken and the structure is made entirely of Sugi trees unpainted and planed. The jinja is dedicated to the goddess Amaterasu and this is evident in the criss crossed timber with the edges cut horizontal to the ground. You can buy some carp food and feed the carp.

Beautiful

Nice place to visit, when a down day. Nice and big red woods

It's the best I'v ever seen.

(Translated by Google) The three cedar trees at the entrance are a sight to behold, and although the middle has been cut off, they still have a magnificent presence. I dropped in without doing any research, but I was surprised to find that the grounds are spacious, the shrine is historic, and there are 15 different shrines enshrined there. I visited the shrine to pray for a safe journey and good health. (Original) 入り口にある三本杉は圧巻、真ん中は切られてるが立派な佇まい。 下調べなしにふらっとよりましたが広い敷地、歴史を感じる立派な神社で十五社のように各神社が祀られている。 旅の無事と健康を願い参拝しました。

(Translated by Google) Although it's in the same Nagano prefecture as Suwa, it's quite far away, about a 30-minute walk from the station. It is the oldest surviving Shinmei-zukuri shrine building, and the main hall has been designated a National Treasure. Shinto shrines tend to be rebuilt during Shikinen Sengu (period rebuilding of the shrines), so it's rare for old buildings to remain intact. This shrine seems to have been rebuilt up until 300 years ago, but has since been repaired and remains intact. By the way, if we don't limit it to Shinmei-zukuri shrines, the oldest surviving shrine is Ujigami Shrine in Kyoto, which is also a National Treasure (and is one of Kyoto's World Heritage Sites). (Original) 諏訪からは同じ長野県内ではあるがかなり離れており、駅からも30分ぐらい歩く。 現存する神明造社殿では最古で、本殿が国宝に指定されている。 神社はどの神社も式年遷宮で造りなおされる傾向があり古いものがそのまま残っているケースが少ない。この神社も300年前までは建て替えをしていたみたいだけど、その後は修繕をやって残っているらしい。 ちなみに神明造りに限らなければ、現存最古の神社は京都の宇治上神社で、こちらも国宝になっている (なおかつ京都の世界遺産を構成する1つ)。

Easy, fun, groomed slopes, not all lifts were open to get to higher slopes. Be careful with your skis and poles, they might get stolen.

Came to Kashimayari for a change and was pleasantly surprised. A lot less crowded than Happo One and Hakuba 47 and runs are just as good in my opinion. A range of terrain from beginner to advanced, and even a small terrain park which many other resorts lack. Unfortunately the days I went to Kashimayari the snow was average at best but on a good snow day it could be fabulous. The restaurant is one of the best in Hakuba Valley, it has good food, reasonable prices and I have never had trouble finding a table. Only issue is having to exchange your valley passes at the start and end of the day however only takes a couple minutes. An Underated resort!!

The ski resort is good for beginners as most of the slopes are easy and not too steep, though for the more challenging slopes they open later in the season because snow is infrequent in the early winter of Hakuba. There are plenty of parking spaces (which are free by the way) but as the resort is mostly catered to Japanese not too many people come so it’s more free and wide. January to March would be the best time to come as more courses are open.

Incredible value for money and some of the best on mountain food we had whilst at the Hakuba valley. We chose to go here on a powder day and it was epic! So quiet with no lift queues

Some great tree riding when the top lift is riding and the snow is pumping. Very few tourists bother getting the shuttle down from Happo or Echoland so it's relatively quieter than the other hills on the Valley pass. Mostly a locals hill for the nearby town of Omachi, and still a little behind the other Valley resorts in infrastructure (swap your season pass for a paper ticket, for example). All in all it's a fun place to ride with good challenges for all levels.

Snow quality was fantastic, but only two lifts running at the start of the season. There's some discounts available if you buy lift passes early online, plus some good activities for kids. Free parking is available.

What a great local’s mountain…. Very Affordable…..Good food! I felt like it was my own personal ski resort in the morning. We had the mountain all to ourselves. I’ll be visiting again!

Came on 30 April to see the tulips - honestly my favourite time of the year !! If you are lucky enough to get good weather this is the best time, the climate is perfect and the flowers are stunning.

I am very fond of huge park for walking. I could take my dog too. Various flower and picturesque area for taking photos.

Huge beautiful park,you can take a dog for walk and kids will enjoy the adventure playground!

Great place to hang out with family. Not too crowded.

It’s great place to have kids play in the nature safely. It’s a huge park so that we couldn’t go all the places inside of this park but kids had fun fully all day.

Very nice Park with groomed hiking paths and several sites to experience outdoor woodcraft and view natural vegetation of the area.

Recommend place to go with kids. One ticket for 2 parks and kids are free. Lots of free activities in the park. You can see wild Japanese monkeys on the road to the park if you are lucky.

Very beautiful water. Be respectful and take your rubbish. The locals don't like that it's becoming more well known. This was maybe my favourite day in Japan. Respect this place and the locals will respect you.

Stopped by in the winter and it was STUNNING very peaceful, calm, and relax. If you are on the way back from Hakuba to Tokyo, i would recommend to stop by and relax here!

One of the must visit places when you are in Hakuba. It is just three stations away from Hakuba. The view is breath-taking. You won't find many people around.

Picturesque lake Hidden gem

Nice scenery! Good for camping and trying the water activities 👌🏻

Small and beautiful lake

Scenic.

(Translated by Google) It's closer to the city than I expected. Along the way, you'll pass through the trees along the Takase River, making for a pleasant ride. There appear to be no restaurants within the dam grounds. The natural scenery of the majestic mountains and Lake Ryujin is worth seeing. (Original) 思っていたよりも市街地から近いです。道中は高瀬川沿いの木々の間を通って気持ちよく来れます。ダムの敷地内には飲食店は無い様です。雄大な山と龍神湖の自然の景色は見ごたえあります。

(Translated by Google) This dam is managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and its main purpose is flood control. Dam cards are distributed at the Omachi Dam Information Center, and it seems you can also tour the inside of the dam by making a reservation in advance. There are also toilets in the surrounding area and a plaza below the dam, making it an extremely well-maintained dam. (Original) 国土交通省が管理するダムで、洪水調節が主な目的のダムです。 ダムカードは大町ダム情報館にて配布しており、事前予約でダム内部の見学もできるようです。周辺にはトイレやダム下には広場などもあり、非常に整備されたダムです。

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 16, 2025. The green water of the dam lake and the mountains were refreshing and beautiful. Dam cards are available at the information center located in the same place. (Original) 2025.8.16 に訪問。ダム湖のグリーンの水と山々と爽やかできれいでした。 ダムカードは同じ場所にある情報館で配布されています。

(Translated by Google) I'm glad I visited because I was able to see the impressive dam, beautiful mountain scenery, and green water. Omachi Dam also had an information center and a beautiful green plaza suitable for picnics nearby. (Original) 迫力あるダム、美しい山の風景、グリーンの水の景色をみることができ訪れてよかったです。 大町ダムは情報館や、近くに緑のきれいなピクニックに適した広場もありました。

(Translated by Google) If you have time, it's definitely worth a visit! It's an interesting piece of architecture, and I love that it's being used effectively to generate electricity. (Original) 時間があればぜひ来てみるのがいいと思います！建築として面白いです。発電に有効活用されているのがいいですね。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for the first time while on a run. After all, the dam is a masterpiece! Lake Ryujin is mysterious. The Northern Alps are also wonderful~☆ You can also see the city of Omachi. If a big earthquake were to occur and the dam burst, all the houses would be washed away and destroyed! ! That's the kind of conversation we have locally. Ahaha (Original) ランニングの途中で初めて立ち寄ってみました。やっぱりダムは圧巻ですねぇ～！竜神湖は神秘的です。北アルプスも素敵～☆　大町市街も一望できます。 もし大地震が起きてダムが決壊したら家が流されて全滅だわ～！！と地元ではそんな会話をしています。あはは

(Translated by Google) On the way to the legendary Rhino Mother and Child Statue by road bike. It was quiet and the scenery was great. There was also a suspension bridge nearby, which was nice. There were no shops, but there were toilets. (Original) ロードバイクで伝説・犀竜の母子像に向かう途中 静かで景色も良くて最高でした 近くに吊り橋もあり良かったです。 お店は無いですがトイレは有りました。

It’s a little bit pricy without a coupon ticket. Wherever visiting any sight spots around here, look for coupon tickets. Without it, it costs 750yen but with the ticket it’ll be 500 yen. The ticket works for 5 person per ticket. It has one big indoor tub and 2 mid size tub outside. When sky is clear, stars are beautiful in outside onsen. Facility is seemed a bit old but could be a little more cleaner. This time maybe because of COVID-19, there’s much less people so that I saw no smokers. It was badly smok smelled when I came here last year.

The place is over 20 years old, a bit shabby and basic. 25 m pool, kids pool and jacuzzi . For 600 yen good enough. Also Onsen and restaurant on site

A good place to wash yourself, take a rest or to do a sauna.

Peaceful view and environment

Relax!

(Translated by Google) Yupuru Kizakiko's website has a discount coupon for bathing of 700 yen, which is 100 yen off for 600 yen, so you can use one coupon per person, and you can also get a discount by showing your JAF membership card. In addition, those aged 65 and over with a silver ticket can enter the bath for 500 yen. I stopped by on my way back from Hakuba. There are several bathing facilities along the way, but the parking lots are small and at Yupurukizaki Lake, about 60 regular cars can be parked. As you enter the entrance, there is a Kailash Japan shop on the right side.The indoor bath is a little hot, the dry sauna and the open-air bath are lukewarm, and the spring quality is a simple hot spring sulfur spring that is clear and colorless. The lockers are free with keys, the lobby is spacious, and there is a rest room, so I felt refreshed and less tired, which made driving home easier. (Original) ゆ～ぷる木崎湖のHPに入浴割引券700円が100円引きの600円で入浴出来るので一人一枚ですが利用出来ますしJAFの会員証提示でも割引が出来ます。また、シルバー券65才以上は500円で入浴出来ます。白馬の帰りに寄りました。途中には何件かの入浴施設がありますが駐車場が狭くゆ～ぷる木崎湖ですと普通車約60台は停められます。入り口をはいると右側にはカイラスジャパンのショプもあり内湯は少し熱めで、ドライサウナ、露天風呂はぬるめ、泉質は単純温泉硫黄泉で無色透明です。ロッカーは鍵付きで無料､ロビーも広く休憩室もあり、心もスッキリ疲れも無くなり帰りの運転も楽になりました。

(Translated by Google) When I went there on a Tuesday afternoon, there were only 2-3 customers in the women's bath. It felt more like a public bath used by locals than a hot spring facility for tourists. It was quiet and comfortable. There was also an open-air bath, so it was a fun bath. The boxed coffee milk from the vending machine between the shoe lockers and the entrance was delicious. (Original) 火曜日の昼間に行きましたら、女湯のほうは、2〜3人のお客でした。観光客も来る温泉施設、というよりは、地元の方々が利用する銭湯という感じがしました。すいていたので、居心地が良かったです。露天風呂もあり、楽しく入れるお風呂でした。下駄箱と玄関のあいだにある自動販売機の、箱タイプのコーヒー牛乳が美味しかったです。

This place I planned in visiting and despite there being no busses here from the train station, the 30 minute walk felt relaxed (till the uphill part). The staff here are extremely helpful and really good out their way to be accommodating e.g. they realised they gave me the wrong leaflet so came looking for me to provide the right 1. The cafe and souvenir shop is integrated and has nice views while eating n drinking. The exhibits and history here is amazing and shows how harsh life was but also how adaptive the pple were.

Highly recommended. Panoramic views of the northern alps with a viewing level. Great info on the history of human interaction with the mountains, and animals to be found at different levels of the mountains. There's also a small zoo outside.

Good spot to see view of Japan alps and cherry blossom.

Must visit during sunset.

Great view of the northern alps and history of mountaineering here

I love the dinosaur egg!

Extremely beautiful place

We started out from Toyama station and ending in this one. We needed to return and refund the express bus ticket for Nagano and buy a local bus ticket for Shinano-Omachi for picking up our forwarded luggage. It was the last bus service. The office only sells tickets, but not returning tickets. We had to run to the other end for another office for return and refund while the last bus was about to leave. In convenience caused by the delay of Aline route services.

We buy ticket from web and exchange the ticket here have enough parking lot.

Due to landslide, the road to Ogizawa station was closed early morning and the service is expected to be resumed from 10:00AM. The weather has been better today after the typhoon yesterday!!

Nice station and very good access to Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route from Nagano side. Wide parking lot space.

The length of Kanden Tunnel from Ougisawa Station is 5.4 km under Mt. Akazawatake and it was constructed to transport building materials for the dam project. Noted on my wonder-tips site.

Entry or exit station from or to Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Best way to reach Alpine route.

(Translated by Google) Climbed on 2024/08/09. It's a pleasant mountaintop. Since I went on a weekday, there weren't many people and I was able to take as many photos as I wanted. You can see the beautiful ridgeline. It seems like bears will be out a lot this year, so a bell 🛎️ is a must-have item. (Original) 2024/08/09に登頂。 気持ちのいい山頂です。 平日に行ったからか、人も少なく写真も取り放題でした。 素敵な稜線が見れます。 今年は熊がよく出るみたいで鈴🛎️が必須アイテムです。

(Translated by Google) It was a luxurious mountain hike from Ogisawa to Mt. Jijigatake, Mt. Kashimayarigatake, and Mt. Goryu. The path up to the south peak is not dangerous, but the path to the north peak is cut, so I was careful when heading there. (Original) 扇沢から爺ヶ岳と鹿島槍ヶ岳、そして五竜岳と贅沢な山行でした。南峰までは危険ではないですが、北峰へ向かう際は切れてるので注意して向かいました。

(Translated by Google) To Mt. Kashima-Yari I was attracted by the mountain's name and was planning to go next year, but I thought "I'll try it while I'm still young, even if it's only one year old" and gave it a go! On Monday, the weather was clear and I could see the Tateyama mountain range, Mt. Tsurugi, Mt. Yari, Mt. Asama, Mt. Azuma, Mt. Fuji, the Yatsugatake mountain range, the Southern Alps, Mt. Goryu in the Ushiro-Tateyama mountain range, and the Hakuba area! (Original) 鹿島槍ヶ岳へ 山名に惹かれて来年行くつもりが 「1歳でも若いうちに」と思い挑戦！ 月曜日だけ快晴で 立山連峰・剱岳・槍ヶ岳・浅間山・四阿山・富士山・八ヶ岳連峰・南アルプス・後立山連峰の五竜岳や白馬方面も一望出来ました！

(Translated by Google) I climbed from Ogizawa via the Kashiwara Shindo trail and passed through Mt. Jijigatake. I recommend staying at Reikeisanso lodge via Mt. Jijigatake on the first day, then climbing Mt. Kashimayari on the second day and returning on a round trip. Alternatively, you could climb Mt. Jijigatake on the first day and stay at Taneikeisanso lodge, climb Mt. Kashimayari on the second day and stay at Reikeisanso lodge, and descend on the third day. Personally, I found the climbs on the Kashiwara Shindo trail, Mt. Nunobiki, and just below Mt. Kashimayari to be the toughest. The hiking trails are well maintained, so I think there are few dangerous spots. When I checked in at Reikeisanso lodge, I was told to be careful because there had been incidents of people encountering bears at the summit of Mt. Kashimayari, leaving their lunch boxes behind and running away. End of August 2025 (Original) 扇沢から柏原新道を使い爺ヶ岳を経由して登りました。1日目は爺ヶ岳を経由して冷池山荘に宿泊し、2 日目に鹿島槍ヶ岳に登るってピストンで帰るのがオススメです。または1日目は爺ヶ岳に登って種池山荘に宿泊、2日目には鹿島槍ヶ岳に登り冷池山荘へ宿泊、3日目に下山もありだと思います。 個人的には柏原新道の登り、布引山の登り、鹿島槍ヶ岳直下の登りがキツかったです。登山道は整備されているので、危険箇所は少ないと思います。 冷池山荘で受付した際、鹿島槍ヶ岳の山頂で熊に会いお弁当を置いて逃げる出来事があったので気を付けるように説明されました。 2025年8月末

(Translated by Google) Memories and reviews of mountain climbing beginners Depart from Reiike Sanso at a leisurely pace and head to Mt. Nunobiki and the south peak of Mt. Kashima Yarigatake. It's not a tough route, so it's a pleasant climb. When we passed through a sea of ​​clouds and arrived at the south peak of Kashima Yarigatake, the peaks of the Northern Alps peeking out from the sea of ​​clouds seemed to greet us with a greeting. At the top, the sky is wonderfully clear and you will be overwhelmed by the dynamic appearance of the clouds. Eating cup ramen (Tom Yum Goong Ramen) at the top of the mountain in a pleasant breeze is exceptional ← I drank all the soup. Just lying down and looking up at the sky is just amazing and moving. A place where you can stay for hours I feel like I could become a mountain man It's not that sweet, is it? I'll visit again (Original) 登山初心者の思い出口コミ 冷池山荘をのんびりと出発して、布引山〜鹿島槍ヶ岳南峰へ 厳しいルートではないので気持ち良い登山です 雲海を通り抜け鹿島槍ヶ岳南峰に到着した時は、雲海から顔を出す北アルプスの山々の頂がこんにちはといった趣で出迎えてくれたようです 頂上では空は素晴らしく晴れ渡り、雲のダイナミックな様相に圧倒されまくりです 心地よい風のなか、山頂で食べるカップラーメン（トムヤムクンラーメン）は格別←スープも全部飲み干しました 寝っ転がって空を見上げているだけでただただスゴいと感動 何時間でも居たい場所 山男になれそうな気分 そんなに甘くはないですかね また伺います

(Translated by Google) In June 2022, I tried to climb from Ogizawa from Kashiwara Shindo via the south ridge, but I couldn't find the branch point that leads to the south ridge, so I took a day trip via Taneike hut to Mt. Jijigatake → Reiike hut → Kashimayari south peak → North peak. The snow traverse to Taneike Hut was quite thrilling, but from the top of the hut The snow was melting. It's a good climb, but I think it's better to stay overnight at the cold pond hut and climb the mountain at a leisurely pace. The climb back up to Mt. Jigatake from Hiiike Hut on the way back from Piston is quite difficult. I tried climbing the south ridge from the south peak of Mt. Jijigatake, but it was full of bushes so I don't recommend it. I think it would be a good ridge if there is more snow. (Original) 2022年6月に扇沢から柏原新道から南尾根経由で登ろうとしたが、南尾根に繋がる分岐点が分からず、種池小屋経由で爺ヶ岳→冷池小屋→鹿島槍南峰→北峰日帰りピストンしました。種池小屋までの雪トラバースはかなりスリリングでしたが、小屋上からは 雪解けしていました。まぁまあシンドイピストンですが、冷池小屋で一泊してのんびり登る方が良い登山と思います。ピストン帰りの冷池小屋から爺ヶ岳への登り返しは結構辛いです。爺ヶ岳南峰から南尾根ゲザンしたものの、ヤブだらけでオススメしない。もっと雪がある時期なら良い尾根とおもいます。

The building is nice. Good for kids, many interactive activities

A bit dated, but still interesting & relevant. Plenty to keep kids busy. Not much English but most things are self-explanatory. Worth a visit if in the area.

Interesting but it's better to visit the surrounding areas like lakes and such. Everything is in Japanese. But for Japanese kids this could be a very good experience.

Nice for kids to play and learn, has many interactive activities for all ages from 2 onwards

(Translated by Google) Everyone knows about Kurobe Dam, but there are many dams and power plants in Omachi. This museum offers a variety of experiences that elementary school students will enjoy.

(Translated by Google) The three-storied pagoda, symbol of the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism, welcomes you with a bang. The precincts are very bright, rather than the dense forest of the shrine. Yabusame rituals are also held. Kannon-do Hall is located right next to the main hall and worship hall. I'm often impressed that you were able to overcome the turbulent waves of Haibutsu-kishaku. Also, the goshuin here is two shrines, Oji Kanzeon and Kamado Shrine, plus demons! You can get four of them (Ꙭ)!!!

(Translated by Google) Shrine tour #150 The first thing you see when you enter the precincts is the three-story pagoda, a prefectural treasure. When I looked at the photos I took later, I realized that I couldn't see the tip of the nine wheels on the roof, and I was once again surprised at how high it was. As you walk through the precincts, on the front left is the worship hall of Wakaichi Oji Shrine, and on the right is the thatched-roofed Oji Kannon Hall. On the left side of the shrine grounds are Omachi Gokoku Shrine and Yasaka Shrine. A mikoshi was enshrined inside the main shrine of Yasaka Shrine as a palace. Well, today's purpose is to see the thatched-roofed main shrine. There was a demon mask on the roof (similar to the demon tile on a tiled roof), and I took a picture of it, but it was impossible with my smartphone camera! Unfortunately, it was raining on the day of the visit, so I wasn't able to take my time to look around. ※※A story that doesn't matter※※ How to remember Wakaichioji Shrine Ichioji Shrine, which is not Hachioji because there is no konjac paste...Nyaku Ichioji Shrine (Original) 神社巡り#150 境内に入ると最初に眼に飛び込んでくるのが県宝の三重塔。後で撮った写真を観て、屋根の上にある九輪の先端が撮れてない事に気付き、改めてその高さに驚きました。境内を進むと正面左側には、若一王子神社の拝殿があり、その右側に、茅葺き屋根の王子観音堂がありました。境内左手には、大町護國神社と八坂神社があります。八坂神社の本殿内に神輿が宮殿として安置されていました。 さて、本日の目的は茅葺き屋根の本殿を観る事。屋根には、鬼面（瓦屋根の鬼瓦にあたるもの）があり、写真撮りましたが、スマホのカメラでは無理でした！ 参拝当日、雨が降っていてゆっくり観て廻る事が出来なくて残念。 ※※どうでもいい話し※※ 若一王子神社の覚え方 こんにゃくのこんが無く、八王子でない一王子神社・・・にゃくいちおうじ神社

Very good slopes in a small ski resort that are suitable for beginners. It can be crowded on weekends and there are very few foreigners here; mostly, it is local people

This was such a great little resort. Don’t always need the flash fancy resorts just to enjoy some nice powder. Not crowded once you’re up on the slopes.

Nice and simple ski resort, great for beginners to intermediate levels. There's a park for tricks and jumps too. Food is slightly cheaper than the big resorts. Toilets are clean and newly renovated.

Beginner friendly slope. Good for family. A little small but still enjoyed lots.

Good for beginner player. Not crowded on weekday but not sure for weekend. Group lesion is @¥4000 for adult and ¥3500 for elementary students. Rental snowboard set is @¥3500.

Recommend for family with little kids. It is about 10 mins driving from Omachi onsen. Price is pretty reasonable here. All set of ski gear for adults costs ¥3000 and one-day lift tickets costs ¥3900. You can also purchase lift coupon at ¥350. Ski school is also available here. There is wide food variation here but taste is normal. As for ski course, there are several options from beginners to advanced players. Moreover, there is specific area for kids to play snow.

Nice small-sized family ski resort. Definitely for beginners and kids given the limited number of slopes and low elevation. Very friendly staff overall and super welcoming. Ski instructors are kind and knowledgeable with kids, and few can speak Englis. Kids have a dedicated sledge area. The pizza place called powder puff is yummy and welcoming.

Beautiful architecture! We cMe here in early autumn and the temple with colourful leaves in the backdrop makes every photo a postcard! Friendly staff tells me exactly where to take photo from inside the building.

(Translated by Google) I visited during the season of fresh greenery. The view of Omachi from the parking lot was wonderful, and as I walked through the quiet greenery, I came across a magnificent mountain gate. And a large Ohatsuki ginkgo tree. It was a really beautiful space even when it wasn't the season of autumn leaves. The toilets were also surprisingly well-maintained! (Original) 新緑の季節にお伺いしました。駐車場からの大町を一望出来る眺めも素晴らしく、静かな緑の中を進むと立派な山門。そして大きなオハツキイチョウ。紅葉の季節で無くとも本当に素敵な空間でした。トイレもビックリするくらい綺麗に管理されています！

(Translated by Google) I visited Reishoji Temple in Omachi City during the autumn foliage season. Reishoji Temple is an ancient Soto Zen temple with a history of around 500 years, and its particularly impressive mountain gate, designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, is particularly noteworthy. Constructed in the early Edo period, the gate blends a stately construction with delicate design, giving it an appearance that evokes history. The gate, adorned with autumn leaves, is as beautiful as a painting, captivating all who visit. I spent a soothing moment surrounded by the reds and yellows that spread throughout the tranquil temple grounds. (Original) 大町市にある霊松寺を秋の紅葉シーズンに訪問しました。 霊松寺は約500年の歴史を持つ曹洞宗の古刹で、国の重要文化財に指定されている山門が特に印象的です。 江戸時代初期に建てられた山門は、重厚な造りと繊細な意匠が調和し、歴史を感じさせる佇まいでした。紅葉に彩られた山門はまるで絵画のように美しく、訪れる人を魅了します。 静かな境内に広がる赤や黄の彩りに包まれ、心癒されるひとときを過ごせました。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by during the autumn leaves season. It was quite crowded as it was a famous place. The red and yellow trees are very beautiful. The temple is also very nice and looks nice. I would like to come again next year. (Original) 紅葉の時期に立ち寄りました。 有名どころなのか結構、混んでいました。 赤や黄色の木々がとても綺麗です。 お寺も立派なお寺でいい感じです。 また来年も来てみたいと思います。

The oldest temple in Nagano, Japan

(Translated by Google) I visit almost every year during the autumn foliage season. This year, I thought it was a little early, but I was glad to be able to enjoy the three colors of green, yellow, and red rather than the bright red. I would have preferred if the weather had been a little clearer, but there's nothing I can do about it. However, I arrived just before noon and was glad to find it surprisingly empty. (Original) ほぼ毎年🍁紅葉の時期に伺っています。今年はまだ若干早いかなと思いつつでしたが真っ赤よりも緑、黄色、赤と三色が楽しめて良かったです。 もう少し晴れ渡ったお天気だったら良かったのですがこればかりは仕方ない。 でもお昼前に着いたのですが思いの外すいていて良かったです。

(Translated by Google) The autumn leaves 🍁 were spectacular 😍 And thanks to the kind explanations given by the volunteers, we were able to learn about the history of the temple 🙏 There was also a craft exhibition by local artists, so we were able to spend a meaningful day 🙇🏻 (Original) 紅葉🍁が見事でした😍そしてご丁寧なボランティアさんの説明で、お寺さんの歴史等に触れる事がが出来ました🙏また、丁度地元の作家さんの工芸展もやっていて、有意義な1日を過ごす事が出来ました🙇🏻

A beautiful quiet lake. Few people are here. Fishing isn’t fun, no fish comes to bite. Hiking around the lake is so refreshing me by the quiet nature. 1000yen for a day fishing, but don’t do fishing you catch nothing here. For bass fishing, foto Kizaki-Ko.

Not a big lake but it's so quiet and relaxing. From some angles it might look like a normal lake, but from another angle it's astonishing. Make sure you find the right angle ;)

(Translated by Google) 2024.4.19 This is the cherry blossoms in the morning. The wind blowing across the lake was so cold that it felt like it was probably below the temperature. The people who came to take pictures were wearing thin down jackets. (Original) 2024.4.19午前中の桜の様子です。 湖面を渡って吹く風が冷たくて体感は多分気温以下。撮影に来ている方々は薄手のダウンを着用されていました。

(Translated by Google) This is a small lake south of Lake Aoki. The cherry blossom and autumn foliage season might be the best time to visit, but the green summer season was even better than I expected. I set up my tripod to take photos before sunrise, and as the sun rose, I noticed a flurry of hair floating on the lake's surface. I never thought I'd be able to capture a scene like this in August. I had planned to take a few photos near the free parking lot before leaving, but I ended up staying longer than planned. Of course, the green mountains reflected in the lake's surface make for beautiful shots, and at night I was able to capture the Milky Way. If you're a photography enthusiast, I'd recommend this hidden gem. (Original) 青木湖の南側にある小さな湖です。 桜と紅葉のシーズンがおすすめなのかもしれないのですが、夏の緑のシーズンも 思った以上によかったです。 日の出前から撮影のため三脚立てておりましたが、日が昇るにつれて おや？湖面に毛嵐が流れてきている 8月にこんなシーンが撮れるとは思いませんでした。 無料の駐車場付近で少しだけ撮影して 出発する予定でしたが予定以上に長居してしまいました。 もちろん湖面に写り込む緑の山の姿も 美しく撮れますし、夜の間は天の川の撮影も出来ました。 撮影が趣味の方でしたら 穴場のポイントとしておすすめ出来ますね。

(Translated by Google) Lake Nakatsuna is beautiful when the cherry blossoms are reflected on the surface of the lake. It's difficult to go at the right time, but on a calm day it's a very pleasant place. However, perhaps because it is a place where the wind blows easily, it is difficult to see the cherry blossoms reflected on the surface of the lake. It's a place where you want to take your time and relax. There is a private parking lot and toilets on the promenade, but we lent them the toilet at Yanaba Station. (Original) 『中綱湖』は、桜が湖面に映る時期が奇麗です。 なかなか良いタイミングに行くことが難しいですが、穏やかな日はとても気持ちが良い場所です。 ただ、風の吹きやすい所なのか湖面に映る桜を見るのはなかなかです。 時間に余裕を持ってゆったりとしたいところです。 専用駐車場があり、遊歩道にトイレもありますが私たちは『簗場駅』のトイレを貸していただきました。

Today, the wind was strong, causing waves on the lake and preventing the cherry blossoms from reflecting beautifully.

Get high！

Love Goryu

(Translated by Google) Climbed in August 2024. The area near the summit is a rocky ridge, and no matter where you access it, there are shackles, and I think it's probably the steepest of the famous peaks in the Ushiro-Tateyama Mountain Range. I think it's a muscular, masculine mountain. (Original) 2024年8月に登りました。 山頂付近は岩稜帯で、どこからアクセスしてもクサリ場があり、後立山連峰の名峰たちの中では一番険しいかなーと思います。 筋骨隆々な男性的なお山だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I climbed it on a Friday in early August as the third mountain on a short climbing trip. After descending Mt. Senjogatake the previous day, I did a quick internet search and found out that the Gongora that goes up to Happo-one starts at 7am, but I woke up at Hakuba Roadside Station just after 6:30am. After breakfast in the car, I stopped at a convenience store on the way and bought 2 liters of water. I didn't buy any frozen drinks, thinking it wouldn't be too hot since it was a high mountain. Deposit your bicycle at the Escal Plaza parking lot where you plan to descend. It was already past 7:30 when we moved to Happo Station, the starting point for the climb. As it is a popular mountain climbing spot, in front of the ticket office there is a mountain climbing registration submission corner manned by two staff members. Apparently, if you are using mountain climbing equipment, you will be refused ticket sales unless you have submitted a notification. When I filled it out and handed it over, I told them that I was going to Mt. Goryu and taking a day trip down the gondola over there, but they just said, "I think it's going to be hot today," and didn't say anything else. The process may not be as big of a deal as I thought. I got on the gondola around 7:50. According to the rough schedule I made in the morning, I left Happoike Sanso at 8am. The last train is scheduled to arrive at Alps-daira Station at 4:30 p.m. at 4:29 p.m. Considering the ride time on the way up, I'm already calculating that I won't be able to make it in time. I had researched and learned that the Goryu Telecabin on the way down had extended service if I called, but I was confident that I would still be able to make it in time regardless of that. I didn't pay much attention to it during the transfer, but the station where I got off the last lift was quite busy. Looking around the trail, there were even more climbers, and it seemed to be more popular than Mt. Senjogatake. It may be that there are more people on Fridays, but considering the access to the start of the walk, the scenery seems to be more than equal, so it's no wonder. You'll be climbing an open ridge, so unless there's a steep slope in front of you, you'll have a great view of the mountains to the left and right. Even so, there are a lot of people. I think I passed over a hundred people in the 30 minutes it took to get to Happoike. The difference is slight. There is a small area of ​​shallow forest between Happo Pond and Snow Valley. The mountain trail has wide sections and occasional stairs, but the slope is gentle. Many of the people who were properly equipped for mountain climbing seemed to have helmets, which made me wonder if Mt. Goryu was a dangerous area. When I asked some of the climbers I passed, they didn't say that it was as difficult as Mt. Suishodake, or that it would be fine for people who have been hit, or that it was clearly dangerous. There is a possibility that people who were traveling vertically just used it on a different section. It took 1 hour and 47 minutes to reach the mountain hut at the top of Mt. Karamatsudake. It was scheduled to take 2 hours and 48 minutes, so I was over an hour early. Routes with many people may have longer course times. I'm not in a hurry, but this time I don't think the distance is such that I can get a time of less than 36 minutes, so I don't think the triple speed theory holds true. Since I had some free time, I stopped at Mt. Karasatsu which I hadn't planned on and spent 40 minutes there. With the addition of a 20 minute delay in departure, the original schedule was maintained. Before heading to Mt. Goryu, I took a quick peek at the mountain hut at the top of Mt. Karamatsu. It costs 300 yen to use the toilet. The toilet near Happoike Sanso Station had a donation box, but no one seemed to be paying, so I used it for free, so it seemed expensive, but considering the location, I think it was a reasonable price. The atmosphere changes instantly on the mountain trail heading towards Mt. Goryu from the mountain hut at the top of Mt. Karamatsu. As soon as you walk along the narrow ridge, you will soon reach a chain trail going downhill. This is a section where passing each other and overtaking can be troublesome, but unlike in the past, there was less traffic, so I was able to proceed surprisingly smoothly. I don't think there's a high risk of falling rocks if it's not crowded. Three out of the three people I passed, and five out of the eight people I passed, were wearing helmets. On a slightly conspicuous reddish-brown sandy hill on the route, perhaps the lowest saddle, I conversed with two climbers in the same direction, one passing each other. The two men, who left their accommodation at 3:30 in the morning, appeared to have little equipment, but I heard that they were traveling vertically. He said he entered the mountain from Ogizawa just before noon the previous day. One person in the same direction was clearly heavily armed, apparently traveling in traverse. I asked them how long it would take to get to the next mountain hut. From this location, I estimated it would take about 90 minutes to reach the summit of Mt. Goryudake. In front of Goryu Sanso, there is a road that winds to the right around a small peak, and when you climb to the point where you can look down on the mountain hut, there is a branch that leads up to the peak. The sign said Tomi-ridge, but at this point I foolishly didn't recognize the name of the ridge on the descent route in kanji, so I thought I had taken a wrong turn somewhere and detoured to Mt. misunderstanding. As I looked up in confusion, I noticed a strange number of people coming and going, so I started thinking that maybe I was climbing a hill to see the view or something, and I looked up at the people who were coming down (climbing at Far View Ridge). He grabbed one person and kept asking him questions repeatedly, causing trouble. It was just before 12:30 noon, but there were only about 10 people in the square in front of Goryu Sanso, including those who were pitching tents, and strangely, no one seemed to be eating. . The climber who had caused trouble earlier quickly moved deeper into the hut. Maybe he was in a hurry because he had a reservation for lunch. I was surprised when I saw the room rate. Considering the recent price increase, 15,000 yen for one night and two meals at a mountain hut may not be too expensive, but personally, I think it's an amount that I'd rather spend on a day trip. However, isn't 11,000 yen for a room without meals quite expensive? The road to Mt. Goryu seems surprisingly gentle when viewed from in front of Goryu Sanso. There is a sign in front of the hut that says the upper part is a steep rocky area and takes 2 to 3 hours round trip. When I actually climbed the mountain, there were several chains along the way and it felt tougher than I had imagined, but I didn't rush and it only took about 40 minutes, so it wasn't long at all. Perhaps because it was close to the hut, there were many climbers on this section, and I encountered about 50 people on the round trip. We arrived at the summit after 1:00 p.m. The difference from the estimated time required at the lowest saddle was 8 minutes. I spent 5 minutes around Goryu Sanso, so considering the travel time, that's an extra 3 minutes, which is about a 3% error. Estimation is quite reliable. 30 minutes at the top of the mountain. Started descending the mountain at around 1:40 p.m. I had a rough schedule, so I didn't know when I was supposed to descend the mountain. The descent through Goryu Sanso is scheduled to take place at 1:51 p.m., so it is understood that the train will be delayed. I got down to Goryu Sanso in 30 minutes, paid a 200 yen fee, and relieved myself. I later found out that the lodging rates at Karasatsudake Summit Sanso and Goryu Sanso were the same. For some reason, the toilet fee is cheaper at Goryu Sanso. We confirmed the extended operation of the down gondola at the tent reception desk next to the hut entrance. There were signs along the way with contact information, and I learned that cell phone signals were generally available except in the saddle. I left Goryu Sanso at 2:18 p.m. 27 minutes behind schedule. In the morning, I was thinking that if there was a system called extended driving, there was a possibility that someone else would call me if they were later than me. As usual, I made the naive assumption that if I hurried a little, I might be able to make it in time for 4:30 p.m. There's no big deal. About 15 minutes after I started descending, I passed 9 people, and in the next 25 minutes I passed 5 people. I asked some of the people if they had encountered anyone descending the mountain ahead of them, and half of them said they had no recollection of meeting one, and half said they had seen one a long time ago. Even if there is one, it will probably be a long way away. I can't say for sure about the view towards the summit as the direction of travel is opposite to the direction of descent on the way down, but I think there were more trees blocking the sides early on and there were more roads that went up and down narrow ridges, so it was better than Happo-one. I feel like the view is bad. The temperature rises as the altitude decreases, and since there are no trees to cover our heads, the sun shines down on the back of our necks, making it extremely hot and consuming all of our drinking water. According to the schedule, there is no remaining capacity until the down gondola station, with more than an hour left. I remember experiencing the sensation of descending down a swelteringly hot ridge before, but where was it? At 3:15 p.m., I saw the gondola's business hours and phone number signboard for the first time at Otomi. I was confused because the last time was 16:15. It was an old signboard, so I assumed the information was outdated. I don't know if it's a typo or if it's inaccurate, but it said there was about 5km (about 2.5H) left. At 15:51, according to the signboard, we were at the boundary between the mountain trail and the trekking course. From then on, there will be more wooden paths and stairs, making it easier to walk. At 16:17, I caught up with the person ahead of me. Two parents and children. A few minutes away from Jizo no Kashira. I decided that this progress was probably the deadline to meet the final deadline, so I let my guard down. As I was walking and talking with the children, I encountered a gondola staff member. It appears that the extended driving request has already been made. I felt relieved when I arrived at the lift station, but was told that the gondola station was even further away. The last lift was at 16:15. In front of the gondola station, there was a flower bed area with a grid of paths, so although it wasn't a maze, it was a bit of a wasted walk. Just before the station, when I caught up with another person ahead of me, time was over at 16:30. There was no sign of being in a hurry, so I thought it was strange, so I spoke to him and found out that he had already contacted me for an extended drive. When paying at the counter, I asked if the surcharge would start from 5:30pm, and was told that there had been a change at the end of July and it would start from 4:30pm, but they gave me a bonus. At the time, the website clearly stated that the event would start at 5 p.m., so this was a natural response. I wonder if this is a basic service, but we were provided with cold towels when we got on the gondola. This is a welcome consideration. Perhaps because it was past normal business hours, unlike at Happo-one in the morning, each person was not seated separately, but was instead riding with the person who had gone before. Travel 6-7 km by bicycle to the starting point, the parking lot in front of Happo Station. The vending machines at the facilities near the station where I got off the gondola seemed to have high prices, so I bought drinks at a convenience store along the way. Replenishes nearly 2 liters of water at once. I realized that the advice I received in the morning about the heat was appropriate. (Original) 短期登山旅行の三つ目の山として8月初めの金曜に登った。 前日の仙丈ケ岳下山後に軽くネット検索し、八方尾根へ上るゴンゴラは午前7時から動いていることを知っていたにも関わらず、白馬の道の駅での起床は６時半過ぎ。車内での朝食後、移動途中でコンビニに寄り水２リットル購入。高い山なので暑くもないだろうと冷凍飲料は買わなかった。 下山予定地のエスカルプラザ駐車場へ自転車をデポ。登り口となる八方駅へ移動した時点で７時半過ぎ。人気の登山スポットらしくチケット売り場の前には係員二人が対応する登山届提出コーナー。どうやら登山装備の場合は届を出していないとチケット販売を断られるような気配。記入し手渡した時に五竜岳まで行って向こうのゴンドラ下りの日帰りであることを伝えたが「今日は暑いと思うので」という一言のみで他には何も言われなかった。思っていたよりは大したことの無い行程なのかも知れない。 ゴンドラに乗ったのは７時５０分頃。朝に立てた雑なスケジュールでは八方池山荘８時出発。最終便が１６時半のアルプス平駅には１６時２９分着の予定。上がりの乗車時間を考えると既に間に合わない計算ではある。下りの五竜テレキャビンは電話連絡すれば延長運転があることは調べて知っていたが、それを抜きにしても何だかんだで間に合うと呑気に構えていた。 途中の乗り換えでは気に留めなかったが、最後のリフトを降りた駅は結構な賑わいだった。登山道を見渡せば更に多くの登山者が連なっており、仙丈ケ岳よりも人気があるように見えた。金曜の方が人出が多いということもあるだろうが、歩き出しまでのアクセスを考えた場合の景色の良さは互角以上に思えるので不思議はない。 開けた尾根を登るので前方に急坂がある時を除いては左右に広がる素晴らしい山並みを見渡せる。それにしても人が多い。八方池までの３０分で百数十人は追い抜いた気がする。すれ違いは僅か。八方池から雪渓辺りまでに浅い樹林帯が少しある。登山道は幅の広い区間や階段も時折あったりして斜度は緩め。 それなりの登山装備の人はヘルメット所持が多いように見受けられ、五竜岳までに危険箇所でもあるのかと気になった。すれ違いの登山者何人かに訊いてみたところ、水晶岳くらいの難易度だとか、やられている人なら問題無いだとか、とりあえず明確に危ないという返答はなかった。縦走の人が別区間で利用しただけの可能性あり。 唐松岳頂上山荘には１時間４７分で到着。２時間４８分掛かる予定だったので１時間以上早い。人が多いルートはコースタイムが長めに取られているのかも知れない。急いだつもりは無いのだが今回ばかりは３６分未満のタイムが出せる距離ではないように思うので速度３倍説は成立しない気はする。 時間に余裕が出来たため予定になかった唐松岳へ寄り４０分使った。出発の遅れ２０分を加えれば元のスケジュール通り。 五竜岳へ向かう前に唐松岳頂上山荘を少し覗いた。トイレ利用は３００円。八方池山荘の駅付近のトイレは協力金箱はあったものの誰も支払っている様子が無く自分も無料で用を済ませたため高く感じたが、場所を考慮すれば妥当な額なのだろう。 唐松岳頂上山荘から五竜岳方面へ向かう登山道は一気に雰囲気が変わる。細い尾根を少し進むとすぐに下りの鎖場。すれ違いや追い越しが面倒な区間だが、それまでとは違って通行量は少ないので案外スムーズに進むことが出来た。混雑さえしていなければ落石の危険性は高くない気はする。ヘルメット装着者は追い抜き３人中３人、すれ違い８人中５人。 最低鞍部だろうかルート上では少し目立つ赤茶の砂地の丘で同方向一人すれ違い二人の登山者と会話。朝の３時半に宿泊地を出てきたという二人は装備は少なめに見えたが縦走だと聞いた。前日の昼前に扇沢から入山したとのこと。同方向の一人は明らかに縦走と思われる重装備。次の山荘までの所要時間などを聞いたりした。この場所から目測で五竜岳山頂まで９０分程と見込んだ。 五竜山荘手前には小さな峰を右に巻く道があり、山荘を見下ろせる辺りまで登ると峰へ上る方向の分岐。標識には遠見尾根と書かれていたが、この時点では間抜けなことに下りルートの尾根の名称を漢字では認識していなかったため、どこかで道を間違えて一山迂回してしまったのかと勘違い。困惑しつつ見上げていたら妙に行き来する人が多かったので、今度は景色を見に登る丘か何かなのかと見当違いなことを考え始め、下ってきた(遠見尾根で登ってきた)人を一人つかまえて質問を繰り返し引き留め迷惑を掛けた。 昼時の１２時半前だったが五竜山荘前の広場にはテント張り作業中の人も含めて１０人程しかおらず、不思議なことに誰も食事をしているような様子が無かった。先ほど迷惑を掛けたであろう登山者は早々に小屋の奥へと入っていった。もしかすると昼食の予約があったから急いでいたのかも知れない。 宿泊料金を見て驚いた。昨今の値上がり傾向からすれば山小屋一泊二食１万５千円は高過ぎるということはないのかも知れないが、やはり個人的には登山は日帰りで済ませたいと思える金額。しかし素泊まり１万１千円は流石に高いのではないだろうか。 五竜岳へ向かう道は五竜山荘前から見渡すと案外なだらかに思える。上部は険しい岩場で往復２～３時間掛かるという看板が小屋前広場にある。実際登ってみれば途中には鎖場が何か所かあり想像したよりは厳しく感じたが急がず４０分強で済んだので長くはない。小屋から近いということもあってか、この区間は登山者が多く往復で５０人程と遭遇。 山頂到着は１３時過ぎ。最低鞍部で見込んだ所要時間との差はプラス８分。五竜山荘辺りで５分使ったので移動時間からすればプラス３分で誤差３％程。目測は結構あてになる。 山頂滞在３０分。下山開始１３時４０分頃。雑なスケジュールを立てていたので下山予定時刻不明。下りの五竜山荘通過は１３時５１分予定のため遅れているという認識あり。 五竜山荘まで３０分で下り、２００円の利用料を払って用を足した。後に知ったが宿泊料金は唐松岳頂上山荘も五竜山荘と同じだったらしい。トイレ利用料は何故か五竜山荘の方が安い。 小屋入り口脇のテント受付窓口で下りゴンドラの延長運転に関して一応の確認。道中には連絡先の書かれた看板があり、鞍部以外なら基本的には携帯電波は通じるという情報を得た。 五竜山荘を出たのは１４時１８分。スケジュールより２７分遅れ。延長運転というシステムがあるなら誰か他の下山者が自分より遅れてしまって電話を掛ける可能性はあると朝の時点で考えていた。そうでなくても多少急げば１６時半に間に合ったりするのではと、いつものように甘い想定。大して焦りは無い。 下り始めて１５分程で９人、次の２５分程で５人とすれ違った。何人かに自分より先行している下山者と遭遇したか訊いてみたが、会った記憶が無いという返答と随分前に見かけたという返答が半々だった。居るとしても大分先なのだろう。 下りでは進行方向と逆となるため山頂方面の景色に関して断言は出来ないが、早い段階で側方を遮る樹木が増え、狭い尾根を上り下りするような道が多かったように思うので、八方尾根よりは見晴らしは悪い気がする。 高度が下がるとともに上がる気温と、頭上を覆う樹木が無いため首後ろから照り付ける日差しにより暑さ厳しく、飲料水を一気に消費。下りゴンドラ駅までスケジュール上は１時間以上を残して残量ゼロ。このダラダラと暑い尾根を炙られながら下る感覚は以前に経験した覚えがあるが何処だったか。 １５時１５分、大遠見で初めてゴンドラの営業時間やら電話番号やらの看板を見た。最終は１６時１５分となっており困惑。古ぼけた看板だったため情報が古いのだと判断。盛られてるのか不正確なのか不明だが残り約５ｋｍ(約２．５H)とも書かれていた。 １５時５１分、看板によると登山道とトレッキングコースの境界。以降は木道や木製階段などが増え、足取り軽くなる。 １６時１７分、先行者に追いついた。親子二人。地蔵ノ頭まで数分の地点。この進み具合が恐らく最終に間に合うデッドラインと判断し油断。子供の方と話しながら歩いているとゴンドラ職員と遭遇。どうやら延長運転連絡は済ませてあるようだ。 リフト乗り場に到着して安堵したのも束の間、ゴンドラ駅は更に先だと教えられた。最終１６時１５分なのはリフトだった。 ゴンドラ駅の手前には道が格子状になっている花壇区域があり、迷路では無いが少し無駄に歩かされた。駅の直前、別の先行者に追いついた時点でタイムオーバーの１６時３０分。急いでいる素振りが無かったので不思議に思い話しかけると、これまた延長運転連絡済みであった。 窓口での支払い時、割増は１７時からなのか一応確認してみたところ７月末に改正があり１６時半から発生とのことだったがオマケしてくれた。当時ウェブサイトでは１７時からと明記されていたので当然の対応と言えなくもない。 基本サービスなのだろうかゴンドラ乗車時に冷えたおしぼりが提供された。これはありがたい配慮。通常営業時間を過ぎているためか朝の八方尾根の時とは異なり一人ひとり別の乗車とはならず、先ほどの先行者一名と同乗となった。 出発地点の八方駅前駐車場までの６～７ｋｍは自転車で移動。ゴンドラを降りた駅辺りの施設では自販機の価格設定が高いようだったので途中のコンビニで飲み物を購入。一気に２リットル近く水分補給。朝に受けた暑さへの忠告は適切だったと実感。

The Azumino side was covered in clouds for a long time, but I enjoyed the sea of ​​clouds and the sunrise while taking photos of Mt. Goryu as it gradually became brighter. It was a little steep from Goryu Sanso, but the weather was so clear that I enjoyed the climb.

(Translated by Google) Of course, I was careful on the Happo Kiretto, which is known to be a difficult section, but the descent to Kuchinosawa Col and the ups and downs around G5 were more mentally exhausting, with long periods of chain-riding.

(Original) 難所と言われている八峰キレットはもちろん注意しましたが、それより口ノ沢のコルまでの下りとG5付近のアップダウンの方が長時間の鎖場が続き精神的に疲れました。天候に恵まれなかったものの、岩場が連続するルートを存分に楽しめてよかったです。

This place I planned in visiting and despite there being no busses here from the train station, the 30 minute walk felt relaxed (till the uphill part). The staff here are extremely helpful and really good out their way to be accommodating e.g. they realised they gave me the wrong leaflet so came looking for me to provide the right 1. The cafe and souvenir shop is integrated and has nice views while eating n drinking. The exhibits and history here is amazing and shows how harsh life was but also how adaptive the pple were.

Highly recommended. Panoramic views of the northern alps with a viewing level. Great info on the history of human interaction with the mountains, and animals to be found at different levels of the mountains. There's also a small zoo outside.

Good spot to see view of Japan alps and cherry blossom.

Must visit during sunset.

Great view of the northern alps and history of mountaineering here

I love the dinosaur egg!

Extremely beautiful place
