Top 22 things to do and attractions in Shiojiri

We got there on Tuesday, later afternoon. It was super quiet and only few shops and restaurants were open. The area was really nice though and we thoroughly enjoyed our walk through it which took 1 hour.

We stopped by in the afternoon while driving through from Lake Suwa, en route to Nagoya. We enjoyed strolling through this rustic historic town, superbly preserved since the Edo period. The souvenir shops, restaurants and minshuku are worth exploring. We sampled some of the snacks and sake, and walked along the river and enjoyed stepping onto the timber bridge -Kiso Ohashi This bridge crosses the Narai River, which runs parallel to the main street. Extending 30 meters, it is one of the longest wooden bridges in Japan. It was built quite recently, in the 1990s. Our only regret is that we were a bit early for the glorious autumn colours as we were there in mid-October.

Wonderful place to visit although the P&P crowd (photo and pee) who stops here between train hours from-to Nagoya and Nagano can make it too touristy certain times of the day. If your schedule allows, stay overnight in one the inns ( we stayed in one right in the middle of town and it was fabulous). This way you can stroll through town during peaceful times in the evening and early morning when everything is closed and quiet. During the day you can enjoy going in and out of the shops and enjoying various snacks. See the place before it turns into a total tourist trap, which it's rapidly headed towards.

We visited Narai-juku and found it to be a charming and very photogenic spot. The preserved street has a wonderful historical atmosphere and is great for strolling and taking pictures. The only downside is that most shops and cafés close quite early, so there wasn’t much open later in the day. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit for the scenery and the unique vibe.

We came here early, around 9am, by car to wander through town for an hour. At that time, it was still very quiet with barely anyone out on the streets. The tranquility almost teleports you back to the Edo period. The idyllic landscape of autumn trees in the background makes the whole place look like a painting. PS: There are many parking lots scattered across town. It'll cost you 500 yen.

The town itself is beautifully preserved and charming. However, when we came, it was completely empty and almost shops were closed, which unfortunately made the long drive feel less worthwhile. We hiked the Torii Pass, it was a pleasant walk, but not spectacular enough to justify the trip alone.

We arrived a bit late around 2:15pm and lots of the restaurants were closed already but the area itself was nice and clean. Locals live there and they opened the store on the ground floor. The view is amazing especially in autumn and could imagine during winter it must be a magical sightings.

It is a historical Japanese houses from 600 A. D. It would be worth to stop by if you are around. I visited here in Dec. they were all locked. We could see only outside. Clean and nice area

Very interesting. Such ancient structures and the small museum is educational. Looks well used for school kids.

Not as exciting as some people posted. It's not far from the station by taxi but you'll need to worry about returning to the station if you don't speak Japanese and don't know how to call a taxi to pick you up from the middle of nowhere.

One of the best kept secrets in Japan definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. The Jomon are very under represented in most of Japan.

Nice historical place at 30 min from the Shiojiri Station. The buildings were closed when I was there. The area is beautiful (mountains).

Great experience during grape harvest season but cannot find another interest thing at this site

Replicas of village buildings from multiple Japanese historical eras. Unexpected in the edge of this small town, but worth stopping. Museum nearby as well.

Walk comfortably

(Translated by Google) The view was a little hazy, but... It's a place I've always wanted to visit. It's about a 10-minute leisurely walk from the parking lot. I arrived. Unlike down low, it wasn't as hot. I was also able to buy some Yuru Camp merchandise. ^_^ (Original) 景色が少しモヤッとしてたけど・・・ ずーっと来たかった場所です。 駐車場からゆっくり歩いて10分くらいで 到着 下界と違って暑さはそれほどでないと思います。 ゆるキャングッズも買えました^_^

(Translated by Google) 2025 (Reiwa 7) 7/22 10:30~ This time, instead of hiking, I parked my car at the nearest parking lot and came here! From the parking lot, it's about 400 meters along a gentle, well-maintained promenade to reach the summit. There were a lot of clouds this time, but the view was relatively good. If it's clear, you can see Mt. Fuji across Lake Suwa. (Original) 2025(令和7年)7/22 10:30~ 今回は登山ではなくて最寄りの駐車場に車を停めてこちらにやって来ました！駐車場からはなだらかな整備された遊歩道を400㍍程進んだら山頂に到着します。今回は雲が多く発生していましたが、眺望は比較的良かったですね。 晴れていたら諏訪湖の向こうに富士山をみる事が出来ます。

(Translated by Google) Summited on September 27, 2025 The weather was perfect, and we even happened to catch the Lake Suwa fireworks display. We were able to watch the fireworks below. It was a bit disappointing that the southern sky was hazy, obscuring Mount Fuji, but the night view of Suwa City was sparkling. (Original) 2025年9月27日登頂 当日は天気に恵まれ、更には諏訪湖の花火大会にも偶然遭遇。 花火を眼下に観ることが出来ました。 南側の空にモヤがかかっていて富士山が見えなかったことが少し残念でしたが諏訪市の夜景はキラキラしてました。

(Translated by Google) August 23, 2025 I've been to Shiojiri many times, but I've never climbed Takabocchi. This is my first attempt. This is the summit of Mt. Takabocchi, and there's a viewing area. As it's the summit, it's a great place to get a 360-degree view. Even in the mid-August heatwaves, the temperature at the summit remains comfortable at around 25°C (although it's quite hot walking up to the summit). The view is quite impressive, with views of the entire Lake Suwa and the Kurumayama Plateau. On clear days, it's a great place to see the Yatsugatake Mountains and the Northern Alps. It should be cooler and more comfortable from September onwards, but the downside is that the road leading up to the plateau is quite narrow. Passing is difficult for much of the way, so if you're not used to driving, it may be quite difficult, so please be careful. (Original) 2025/8/23 何度も塩尻に来ているのに、高ボッチには登ってませんでした。 今回初めてチャレンジです。 ここは高ボッチ山の山頂で、天望用のエリアがあります。 山頂なので360度見張らせるいい所です。 猛暑日が続く8月中旬でも山頂の気温は25℃程度と過ごしやすい気温となっています（ただ、山頂まで歩くとかなり暑いですが） 諏訪湖全体が見えたり、車山高原が見えたりとなかなかの景色です。天気がいいと八ヶ岳と北アルプスが望めるいい場所です。 ９月以降はより涼しくなって心地よい場所になると思いますが、難点は高原まで行く道がかなり狭いと言う事です。道中のほとんどがすれ違い困難な場所で運転に慣れてないとかなり厳しいかと思いますのでお気を付けを。

(Translated by Google) A spectacular view point about 40 minutes from the center of Shiojiri city. From the peak you can see Lake Suwa below. If the air is clear, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the Northern Alps, Central Alps, Southern Alps, the Yatsugatake mountain range, and Mt. Fuji in the distance. The sunrise and sunset views are recommended. When conditions are particularly good, the morning glow is so breathtakingly beautiful it will leave you speechless. In the summer, the area is covered in clouds and mist, but if you're lucky you can see a sea of clouds below. You can easily drive to the parking lot near the peak, but the roads are narrow so be careful when passing large vehicles. (Original) 塩尻市中心部から40分位で行ける絶景ポイント。 山頂からは諏訪湖が眼下に。 空気が澄んでいれば北アルプスから中央アルプス、南アルプス、八ヶ岳連峰、遠くには富士山と360度見渡すことが出来ます。 日の出、日の入りの景色はオススメです。 特に条件が整った時の朝焼けは言葉を失うほど、息を呑む美しさです。 夏場は全体的に雲や靄がかかりますが運が良ければ眼下に雲海が望めます。 山頂近くの駐車場まで車で気軽に行けますが道が狭く、大型の車はすれ違い時は要注意です。

Thank you for a wonderful time. This place truly is Nagoya local gem. Do buy a combo ticket for 800yen if you show their webpage, but sold exclusively at the main building. Easy excess from the station but a very limited parking place which was hard to find thus ended up wasting 800yen extra. However, things on display were amazing and despite the limited number of items, it is a very nice place to come with your kid and introduce the art Do visit their cafe that offers absolutely yummy traditional sweets and has a stunning garden to appreciate while sipping on Matcha. YES RECOMMENDED for kids 4+

The unspoken secret. Not a big gallery but the residence gallery section is a perfect getaway from the hustle bustle. Not recommend for kids under 12.

Small museum in a quiet neighborhood. Entry fee is ¥1000.

Good

(Translated by Google) It's very convenient to take the subway. It's about a 3-minute walk. It's a private art museum with not many works on display. Its branch is the "For Saburo Memorial Hall". The architectural space is extremely beautiful. It was originally a private residence. It was selflessly donated so that everyone can have a rest and have a cup of tea. Buy a package ticket plus coffee and snack coupons for a total of 2,000 yen. Highly recommended! (Original) 搭地下鐵很方便，走路約3分鐘，私人美術館，展出作品不多，分館是“為三郎紀念館”，建築空間極美原為私宅，無私貢獻出來讓大家休息喝杯茶，買套票加上咖啡點心券共日幣2000元，很推薦！

(Translated by Google) First visit on August 26, 2025 Take the Higashiyama Line to Ikeshita Station, exit 1, turn right, and walk for about five minutes. This private art museum regularly features exhibitions. This time, we're showcasing the scenery of Nagoya. The next one will feature a craft exhibition. You can purchase this ticket along with the branch museum ticket, or separately. This time, I visited using an Aichi Sightseeing Passport. Photography and videography are prohibited inside the museum. The museum has three floors, with lockers and restrooms. It's not too large, making it comfortable to browse the exhibition. Recommended duration of stay: within one hour. (Original) 2025.08.26初訪 搭乘地下鐵東山線至池下站往一號出口出去後右轉走五分鐘左右即可抵達。 私人美術館，定期會有企劃展，本回是名古屋的風景。下一期則是工藝展。 可以與分館門票一同購買，也可以單買門票。 本次是使用愛知觀光護照前往。 館內禁止攝影錄影。共三層樓，有置物櫃及廁所，不算太大，可以輕鬆地看展。 建議停留時間：1小時內。

I was lucky to see the Nagoya local artist paintings on exhibition, it was a marvelous experience looking at the different scenes of the city that I recognize and the artist's interpretation. Get the combo ticket. BTW I confirmed with the ticketing agent that photography is allowed, just no videography and flash photography.

It was really fun and the track was quite long.. ¥300 per lap is sooo worth it.

the park itself is beautiful, but gets a bit crowded on weekends. took over an hour to park the car

Wifi, showers, quiet

Stamp

The leaves have started falling🍂🍂

Good 😊

(Translated by Google) It's a perfect place to visit along with Ono Shrine if you want to take a stroll from Ono Station. Please note that it is only open on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. I had read in advance on the website that the museum would be closed during the year-end and New Year holidays from December 29th to January 3rd, but when I went there on Sunday, January 7th, it was closed. Until March 2, 2018, there was a notice posted at the entrance stating that the museum was temporarily closed, so I was unable to tour it. As a traveler, I wish the notice would have been posted on the website before it was posted locally. Therefore, the rating of 3 means that it could not be evaluated. Let's settle for HP. (Original) 小野駅から散策気分で小野神社とあわせて訪ねるのにちょうどよい場所。注意点は土日祝日のみ開館であること。HPでは年末年始12/29～1/3も閉館であると事前に調べておいたのに、1/7日曜日に行ったら閉館。2018年3/2まで臨時休館期間と入口に掲示しており見学できなかった。旅行者としては現地に掲示するより前にHPにお知らせをのせてほしかった…。というわけで評価の3は評価できなかったという意味で3。HPで我慢しよう。

(Translated by Google) In Kitaono, I found the Akira Furuta Memorial Museum on the west side of the Old Highway. Akira Furuta is the founder of Chikuma Shobo, a publishing company that has published high-quality literary and academic books. Since Kitaono is located in Chikuma District, Mr. Furuta probably used that place name in the name of his publishing company. The storehouse, garden, and main building of his birthplace, where many scholars and cultural figures gathered in admiration for his sincere and conscientious publishing and editing stance, were donated to Shiojiri City, and this memorial museum was established. Kitaono is a place in Shinshu where the intellectual and cultural standards of its residents are high. (Original) 北小野で私は旧街道西脇に「古田晁記念館」を見つけました。古田晁氏は、良質の文学書や学術書を刊行してきた出版社、筑摩書房の創立者です。北小野は筑摩郡でしから、古田氏はその地名を出版社名に使ったのでしょう。氏の誠実で良心的な出版・編集姿勢を慕って多くの学者や文化人が集った生家の土蔵と庭園、母屋が塩尻市に寄贈され、この記念館が創立されたそうです。 北小野は信州でも住民の知的・文化的水準が高いところです。

(Translated by Google) A literary museum that utilizes the residence of the founder of Chikuma Shobo. It is clear that Mr. Furuta was a reliable figure for great writers. Check it out as there are only a few opening days! (Original) 筑摩書房創立者の住宅を活用した文学資料館。古田氏が文豪たちの頼れる存在だったことがよくわかります。開館日が少ないので要チェック！

(Translated by Google) This is a memorial hall where you can feel the publishing policy and history of Chikuma Shobo's founder, and the facilities are maintained by local volunteers. (Original) 筑摩書房の創立者の出版ポリシー、歴史が感じられる記念館で地元の方のボランティアで施設管理が維持されています。

(Translated by Google) On August 5, 1945, a ``blood-stained manuscript (but a replica)'' left behind by Furuta, who narrowly escaped death during an air raid by U.S. military aircraft, is on display. (Original) 昭和20年8月5日、米軍機による空襲に遭遇しながら九死に一生を得た古田が残した「血染めの原稿（ただしレプリカ）」が展示してある。

A small museum in a former merchants house which sold traditional combs. Inside the beautifully preserved house are exhibits of the coms they sold which were popular gifts of the time. The staff member at the entrance was helpful and gave a nice description (Japanese only) of some of the features of the house.

There are two levels to explore with a small display of antique combs upstairs. The lovely lady at reception provides an explanation (in Japanese of course, but there is info written in English) about the history of the house and its architecture.

Nice house

(Translated by Google) It was open to the public free of charge during the Lacquerware Festival. The mansion itself is not very spacious, so it can be difficult to get around when it's crowded. (Original) 漆器祭り期間中だったので無料開放されていました。 邸宅内はそれ程広くない為混雑していると見学しにくいです。

(Translated by Google) This building was built in the Tenpo era, approximately 180 years ago. Combs used by women of the Edo period were made and sold in the storefront. You can feel the vestiges of the era and the scenery all around you, and it's like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period. Peeking your head out from the store, you can see the sight of people passing by along the Nakasendo road, and if you go up to the guest room on the second floor, you can feel the vestiges of the time as people sipped tea, looked out over the Nakasendo road, and talked about how it was raining today. There is still much more to see and feel, such as the folding umbrellas, soil, garden, and storehouse. Please take the time to quietly cherish everything. The man who gives us a quick explanation at the beginning and the lady at the reception desk are both wonderful. (Original) 天保に建てた約180年前の建物。 江戸時代の女性が使う櫛を作って店頭で売っていた。 全身に当時の面影や景色を感じられ、江戸時代にタイムスリップできる。 店から顔を出せば、中山道を行き交う人々の景色を感じられ、2階の客間に上がればお茶を飲みながら中山道を眺め今日は雨ですねぇなんて話をしてたのかと、当時の面影に触れられる。 番傘や土、庭、蔵など、見て感じるべきものはまだまだあります。 是非、静かに大切に感じて欲しいです。 最初にサクッと説明してくれるおじさんも受付のおばちゃんも素敵です。

(Translated by Google) On a rainy Friday in early September due to an approaching typhoon, I headed to Narai-juku. It was quite picturesque to stroll around the post town from the free parking lot near the station. Along the way, I chatted with local staff at the tourist information center, who told me about public facilities, and then I headed to the Nakamura residence. I had never heard of Narai's lacquered combs, but when I learned they were a popular souvenir for travelers at the time, I understood. (Original) ９月上旬(金)、台風接近の影響で雨天に、奈良井宿へ。駅近くの無料駐車場から、宿場内をぶらぶら歩くのも風情あり。途中、観光案内所で、地元のスタッフと歓談。公開施設を教えてもらい、中村邸へ。 奈良井の塗り櫛は不知でしたが、当時の旅人に人気の土産物との解説に、なるほどね。

(Translated by Google) There was a lacquerware festival event on that day, and the admission fee, which normally costs 300 yen, was free, so I went in. This shop is said to have been a wholesaler of Japanese combs, a specialty of Kiso, and the vertically long townhouse structure is well preserved, and the combs made at that time had teeth less than 1mm apart. I was also impressed to see it. Unfortunately, it seems that combs like this are no longer made in Narai. (Original) この日は漆器祭りのイベントが有り通常300円の入館料が無料との事なので入ってみました。 此方は木曽の名産品、和櫛の製造問屋さんだったそうで、縦に長い町家の造りが良く保存されており、また当時造られた櫛の歯の間隔が1㍉もないような物も見られ感動しました。残念ながら今はこうゆう櫛は奈良井では造っていないそうです。

7th April 2024. Is a beautiful old town also know for the lacquer crafting. But big disappointment there is no update on goggle here as most shop is closed even on Google info mention is open. I can only guess is a Sunday but seems there is not enough information that could be found about why 90% of this town os closed. Not to mention google map direction walking to the train was misleading. Please see local sign board directions to the manless Kiso-Hirasawa station. And once you get on the the train , PICK UP A TICKET From a machine as you enter to show to the conductor when you get off at the next station later. Really a pity didn’t get to see the beautiful craft works…

It is a beautiful little town, if you are visiting Narai-Juku it is definitely worth a stop. However, even though we were there in the middle of the day, most shops were unfortunately closed. If you want a great photo location - go to Hirasawa!

nice countryside village m

Very scenic village. We were there in the early morning and it appeared like an abandoned village. Somehow a great atmosphere.

Beautiful posttown along side the Nakasendo. Enjoyed the night spent there

This town is haunted

It's giving authentic Japan vibes. The old house, the road, everything! If you come in in autumn like me, this town has some festival and there's an activity we can do! I'm lucky to have this experience. I meet a lot of great urushi lacquer wear artisan! They show me their work and explain the steps. In the photos you can see the artist teach me how to craft on the wood, and you know what, in his demonstration he used the real fine gold powder!! It's such a nice experience. Oh one more thing, for more better experience, if you're not understand Japanese, I recommend you to have tour guide, so they can explain to you the beauty of this Kiso town

It is a small museum and everything is in Japanese though and there a fee of 300 yen. There is a good and well maintained collection of local insects and butterflies in particular, the mountaineering equipment and the local history. I enjoyed it even though I do not much of Japanese. The ladies at the reception area so sweet, kind and helpful.

Very nice Museum with great views on the top of the tower, lots of games for kids outside the museum / observatory building

Just take the lift to the observation deck and take in a great panorama of the Japanese Alps.

good place to relax and have fun.

Really need some more maintains

(Translated by Google) Free observation deck. 🦋 You can see exhibits such as butterflies. In the summer, the air conditioning is on full blast. A hidden gem. (Original) 無料で展望台 🦋蝶などの展示物がみられる。 夏場は クーラーもバッチリきいている 穴場スポット。

Perfect place to get some knowledge about the region and to witness the mind blowing panorama ! (it’s free) Staff was very caring too, thanks a lot IG : @vicarellenreve

(Translated by Google) This is a wealthy farmer's house built in the late 18th century. It is a nationally designated important cultural property. I visited in late November 2019. The renovation work has been completed. What about the availability of tours? It was. (Original) 18世紀後期に建築された豪農の住宅です。 国指定重要文化財です。 2019年11月後半に訪問しました。 改修工事は終了しておりました。 見学の可否については？でした。

(Translated by Google) It is a nationally important cultural property. Nearby is the Ono family residence, which is also a designated cultural property. The Horiuchi family residence is currently being dismantled and repaired, and is scheduled to be opened to the public from next spring. (Original) 国の重要文化財です。近くには同じく重文化財の小野家住宅もあります。堀内家住宅は、現在解体修理中で、公開は来年春からの予定です。

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful building. (Original) 素晴らしい建物です。

(Translated by Google) The renovation work will be completed soon. (Original) もう少しで改修工事が終わります。

(Translated by Google) It's a resort course! You can play a round comfortably! The food is delicious and has a rich menu! In other words, there are many downhill shots at the middle distance, and players who feel the distance is short may be more likely to hit the ball with an iron. (Original) リゾートコースですねー！ 気持ち良くラウンド出来ます！ 食事もメニュー豊富で美味しいです！ しいて言えばミドルの距離が打ちおろしも多く、距離が短く感じ飛ばし屋さんはアイアンでのティーショットが増えるかもしれません

(Translated by Google) I went around with Shirakaba and gentian. There are ups and downs, and the distance is quite long. There aren't many front fours in OB, so unless your driver is stable, you won't be able to get a good score. During our round, we were lucky to meet two Japanese antelopes. Lunch is buffet style, but the menu is rich and satisfying. The practice range includes a driving range with 14 at-bats and approximately 270 yards, as well as approach and bunker practice ranges. In addition, the staff was polite and thorough, and I was able to spend the day comfortably. (Original) しらかば、りんどうで廻りました。 アップダウンがあり、距離もそこそこあります。OBでの前4が少ないので、ドライバーが安定していないとスコアは纏まりません。 ラウンド中に、2頭の日本カモシカに出会えてラッキーでした。 昼食はバイキングスタイルですが、メニューも豊富にあり満足出来る内容です。 練習場は、14打席270ヤード前後のドライビングレンジの他アプローチ、バンカー練習場があります。 また、スタッフさんの対応も丁寧でしっかりしていて、気持ち良く1日を過ごすことが出来ました。

(Translated by Google) This time, I'd like to introduce you to "Kogen Restaurant." This restaurant is located inside Shiomine Country Club. A delicious lunch is especially helpful when your score is bad lol. I don't often order katsu curry at golf courses, but this time my score was good, so I decided to go for katsu curry to celebrate the occasion. "Pork Loin Cutlet Curry" It was served on a huge platter, and I thought it looked like a huge portion, but the plate was actually shallow. I was secretly relieved. The curry had no toppings and was a slightly spicy curry with a hint of heat. But the pork loin cutlet was the best part. I was surprised at how juicy and tender the cutlet was. I can't believe they serve food of this calorie on a golf course!! The cutlet was overwhelmingly more delicious than the curry. Of course, the curry was also delicious. The combination of these two delicious dishes is amazing. I wonder who came up with the combination of katsu curry. I'm truly grateful. (Original) 今回ご紹介するのは『高原レストラン』さんです。 塩嶺カントリークラブにあるレストランです。 スコアが悪いときには特にランチが美味しいと助かりますｗ あまりゴルフ場でカツカレーを注文することは少ないのですが、今回はスコアも良かったので、このままの意味を込めてカツカレーにしました。 『ロースカツカレー』 大皿に盛られていて、めちゃくちゃ量多いじゃん！と思っていたのですが、お皿のそこは浅かったです。 内心ほっとしました。 カレーに具はなく、少し辛みがあるスパイシーなカレーでした。 なによりよかったのはロースカツです。 カツがとてもジューシーでお肉が柔らかく驚きました。 このレベルがゴルフ場で提供されるなんて！！ カレーよりもカツが圧倒的に美味しかったです。 勿論カレーも十分美味しいです。 美味しい2品が混ざると最高ですね。 カツカレーという組み合わせは一体だれが考えたんでしょうね。 本当に感謝しかないです。

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful golf course with a view of the Northern Alps in the distance. The lobby area has been renovated and they have also put effort into the food, so it is a golf course where you can have a comfortable time not only on the course but in other ways too! (Original) 遠景に北アルプスの山々が見える美しいゴルフ場です。ロビー周りがリニューアルされたり、お食事にも力を入れており、ランウンドはもちろんそれ以外の面でも快適に過ごすことが出来るゴルフ場です！

(Translated by Google) Even though it was midsummer, the cool breeze made for a pleasant round. The staff were very friendly. The cart system was automated, and there was a convenient cart path down the middle of the fairway. Perhaps because it was Monday, I played without any crowding. The women's lockers were very clean and nice. The lunch was also delicious.

Great small spot with a magnificent view, hard to peel your eyes away from it

(Translated by Google) I went there by bicycle! I went at a bad time of year, and there was snow on the road, so I had to push my bicycle. Also, the stairs to the observation deck were frozen and very slippery. But when I saw the view that was only possible because of all that snow, all my fatigue disappeared! But I don't recommend coming in winter! (Original) 自転車で行きました！行く時期が悪かったこともあり道に雪が積もっていて自転車を押して行かなければなりませんでした。 また、展望台の階段が凍っていてとても滑りやすくなっていました。 ですが、あの雪が積もっていたからこそ見れた景色を見たら疲れが吹っ飛びました！ でも、冬に来るのはあまりおすすめしません！

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately it was cloudy, but the view was quite nice. To be honest, probably because it was summer, the trees were overgrown and we couldn't see as much as we'd hoped. If you want a good view of the Lake Suwa area, I recommend one of the other observation decks. ★Because of this location, there was no one there or there on our way there and back, and the "Beware of bears" signs that had been set up in several places along the way made it feel cool in a different way. (Original) あいにくの曇りでしたが、なかなか良い景色でした。 夏のためか、木々が生い茂ってて思っていたより見えなかったと言うのが本音です。 諏訪湖周辺をバッチリ見渡したいのであれば他の展望台をお勧めします。 ★そんな所ですので、行きも帰りも誰もおらず、道中に何ヶ所も設置されてた『熊に注意』の看板に違う意味での涼しさを感じられました。

(Translated by Google) "Viewing Mount Fuji in Nagano" I recommend a spot where you can take in Mount Fuji while on a side trip: #Enrei-Onodachi Park Viewpoint. If you're driving in Nagano and want a short drive with a spectacular view, I recommend a detour to the #Enrei-Onodachi Park Viewpoint. This small, unassuming spot, perched at 1,020 meters above sea level, is part of the Yatsugatake Chushin Plateau National Park. The highlight is that from the viewpoint, you can not only take in Lake Suwa and Yatsugatake, but also Mount Fuji, Kitadake, and Okuhotakadake all at once. This is the only spot where you can see all three of these famous peaks in one frame, earning it a spot in the #100Kanto no Fujimi-kun (One Hundred Views of Fuji in Kanto). The forest's melodious bird song was even selected as one of Japan's #100 Best Soundscapes (Japan's 100 Best Soundscapes) for the "Shiomine Bird Bus" birdwatching program. The monument next to the observatory commemorates Emperor Meiji's observation of the area during his tour in 1889. / 🚗 Recommended Side Tours Lake Suwa (Lakeside Stroll → Hot Springs → Food) ↓ About a 20-minute drive Shiomine Mino Park Observatory (Showing the Three Great Peaks and the Soothing Bird Song) ↓ About a 40-minute drive Matsumoto City (Matsumoto Castle, Strolling the Old Streets, and Eating Soba Noodles) Whether you're enjoying autumn foliage or winter snow, this itinerary offers a perfect pace for combining natural beauty, a historic city, and delicious food. / 📌 Tips: ＊The mountains can be very cold in winter, so be sure to wear warm clothing. *The mountain road is narrow and winding, so drive carefully if the ground is icy. *Bears are occasionally spotted in the forest area, so be mindful. Although it's a small attraction, the view is excellent, and there are absolutely no tourists. It's almost always booked out. Near dusk, you can even capture the blues and nightscape of Mount Fuji. If you're nearby, take some time to drive up and see it.

Free and very functional viewpoint building. Amazing, beautiful. But to be picky, I wish it could be higher for a better angel.

(Translated by Google) The chirping of the birds is refreshing and soothing. However, it is quite difficult to access. Even by car, you have to climb a steep slope. If you come here after Takabochi, the impact is less. (Original) 鳥の鳴き声が爽やかで癒されます。 しかし、アクセスはなかなか大変。車でも急な坂道を登ります。 高ボッチの後に来ちゃうと感動は薄くなっちゃいますね。

(Translated by Google) Regarding access by car, If you use Google Maps from the Okaya direction, it will guide you via the old Nakasendo road, but this road is very narrow and not a recommended route. We recommend climbing Shiojiri Pass on National Route 20 and turning right along the way (turn left if coming from Shiojiri). During construction at Okaya JCT, some people will use it as a detour for Shiojiri Pass, so there will be more cars than usual, but there will be limited places where you can pass each other. (Original) 車でのアクセスに関してです。 岡谷方面からGoogleマップを利用した場合旧中山道を通っての案内になるようですが、非常に道幅が狭くあまりおすすめのルートではありません。 国道20号の塩尻峠を登り、途中右折（塩尻からなら左折）して向かうのがおすすめです。 岡谷JCTの工事期間は塩尻峠の迂回路として使う方もいて普段より車が多く、しかしすれ違いできる場所は限られます。

It's great when you're tired from walking around Narai-juku. (Original) 小さな芝生のある公園で 休憩所がありのんびりできます。 木曽の大橋でが間近で道の駅駐車場からもすぐです。 奈良井宿の散策で疲れた時などにいいですね。

(Translated by Google) The view of Kiso Ohashi Bridge from here is exquisite ♪😊 (Original) ここから眺める木曽の大橋が絶品♪😊

(Translated by Google) When I went to Narai-juku at the beginning of November, I crossed the Ohashi Bridge to get to the wooden bridge, and the grass was so green that it felt very nice. It wasn't anything special, but I was satisfied with the beautiful color of the grass, the softness under my feet, the spaciousness, the blue sky, and the comfort of the air. I'm glad it was sunny. (Original) 11月の始めに奈良井宿に行った際、『大橋』※木製に行くため、横切りましたが、芝生が青々しててとても気持ち良かったです。 特別なものは無かったんですが、とにかく芝生の色がキレイだったのと、足元がふあふあなのと、広さと空の青さと空気の心地良さが、満足した点。晴れてて良かったです。

(Translated by Google) It was relaxing. (Original) ゆったりできました

If you enjoy looking at minerals, it has many thousands of them. We were the only visitors. Has interesting things: rocks from the top of Mt Everest, fossils, meteorites, and some huge crystals of all colours. Not so great for young kids - this is an educational museum, not the fun, interactive type.

(Translated by Google) I'd been to the Fossa Magma Museum before, so I assumed the name of the facility suggested a similar exhibit. I checked the website and found that "The Earth's Jewel Box exhibit is based on approximately 1,000 first-class specimens from the Tohoku University Materials Research Institute and approximately 5,000 specimens collected by Koken Kogyo over its 50-year history. The exhibits, along with video equipment, models, drilling equipment, various documents, and photographs, are categorized into the following introductory section and seven themes." This led me to understand that it's run by a private company. If you're a mineral lover, this is a must-visit. (Or maybe even people who like power stones?) The exhibits are well-thought-out, teaching you everything from the topography to the minerals. What was particularly interesting was that the chemical formulas were almost all written out, making it easy to understand which atoms (molecules) caused the color changes. The minerals are what we call gemstones, and many of them are aesthetically pleasing or cool, so I think they'll be enjoyable for people of all ages. There are also exhibits of meteorites, fossils, and drilling equipment. Outside the building there is a natural atmosphere where you can stroll around, and I was glad I took the time to visit. The shop sold a variety of minerals and items that could be used to make accessory parts. (Original) フォッサマグマミュージアムを訪れたことがあるので、施設の名前から同じような展示かな？と思いHPを見たところ、「地球の宝石箱の展示は、東北大学素材研に有った一級品の標本およそ1000点と鉱研工業が５０年の社歴の中で集めた標本およそ5000点の標本を基に展示をしております。 映像装置、模型、ボーリング機器、各種の資料・写真などを加え、以下の導入部と7つのテーマに分類して展示」 とあり、民間会社が経営していると知りました。 鉱石好きなら訪れるべき場所なのではないでしょうか。 （もしくはパワーストーンとか好きな人も？） 展示は工夫されており、地形から鉱石まで学べる展示方法、特に面白かったのが、化学式がほぼ書かれており、色の変化がどの原子（分子）が加わことで変化するのかがとてもわかりやすくてよかったです。 鉱石はいわゆる宝石で、感覚的にきれい！とかかっこいい！とかも感じられるものも多く、子供から大人まで楽しめると思います。 また、隕石や化石、ボーリングの機器類の展示もあります。 建物外は散策ができる自然あるれる雰囲気となっており、時間ととって訪れてよかったと感じました。 ショップでは、いろんな鉱石やアクセサリーのパーツになるようなものが販売されていました。

(Translated by Google) I went on a weekday morning. There were only two or three other visitors, so it was comfortable to look around. Koken Kogyo Co., Ltd. appears to be a boring machine company, and they have a collection of interesting minerals from all over the world. There are so many that it's impossible to take your time to see them all, but there are explanations and exhibits based on various themes, so I was able to learn while enjoying the beautiful minerals. The museum is located on a well-maintained hill, which makes a nice place for a stroll. (Original) 平日の午前中に行きました。他のお客さんは2,3人で空いていたので快適に見ることができました。 鉱研工業株式会社がボーリングの機械の会社のようで、世界中の面白い鉱石が集められています。 数が多すぎてすべてをじっくり見るのは無理ですが、いろいろなテーマに沿って説明と展示がしてあり綺麗な鉱石を楽しみつつ勉強になりました。 ミュージアムのある場所は手入れのされた小山になっていて、散歩するにもいいところです。

(Translated by Google) As the sign says, this museum is filled with love for minerals, with the intention of letting visitors experience the wonders of the Earth. The love is so great that it would take half a day to see everything. I think this is one of the best facilities in the country in terms of the weight of love. I recommend this facility to anyone who loves rocks or museums. Love is important in a museum, isn't it? (Original) 看板の通り、すばらしい地球にふれさせようと全力の鉱物愛に溢れているミュージアムです。愛が大きすぎるので全部しっかりと見ようと思うと半日はかかるでしょう。愛の重さでは全国でも指折りの施設かと思います。石を愛している人や資料館好きにはおすすめの施設です。ミュージアムには愛が大切ですよね。

(Translated by Google) This museum is dedicated to minerals and has an admission fee of 700 yen. It displays minerals from all over the world, including some donated by Japanese collectors. The exhibits are very diverse, ranging from familiar minerals to minerals you've never seen before, and on the second floor there are even radioactive minerals and fossils. (Original) 純粋に鉱石のみを集めた博物館で、入館料は700円。中には日本のコレクターから寄贈されたものも含めて世界各地の鉱石が展示されています。 知っている鉱石から見たこともないような鉱石、そして2階には放射線を発する鉱石や化石も含めて展示はバラエティに富んでいます。

(Translated by Google) I stayed for about three hours. I was very satisfied with the time I spent looking at the specimens. The exhibits about the world of stones were very easy to understand and interesting. It also gave me a new perspective on the significance of studying natural sciences. It was a good opportunity that made me want to study geology and inorganic chemistry again. I would like to go again. (Original) 3時間程滞在しました。標本を眺めながら良い時間を過ごす事ができ非常に満足。 石の世界についての展示が非常に分かりやすく面白かった。また自然科学を学ぶ意義を改めて考えることができました。 地質学や無機化学を改めて学ぼうと思えるいい機会になりました。また行きたい。

(Translated by Google) It was 10 times better than I expected. There were a lot of exhibits, and the exhibits were of very high quality, mainly domestic specimens. If you're a mineral lover, I highly recommend you go and see for yourself. Even a quick look will take more than an hour. (Original) 思っていたより10倍よかった。かなり展示が多く、また国産の標本が中心でかなり質の良い展示でした。鉱物好きな方は、ぜひ行って自分の目で確認して欲しいです。さっと流し見しても1時間以上かかります。

(Translated by Google) Historical materials of Washuma are on display. A special exhibition was also held. (Original) 洗馬の歴史的資料が展示してあります。 特設展示も開催してました。

(Translated by Google) There was a facility a little further into the mountain side from the street. The person in charge explained everything carefully and I was able to understand it well. (Original) 通りから山側に少し入り込んだ奥に施設がありました。係の方が丁寧に説明して下さり、よくわかりました。

(Translated by Google) The ``Honaraiba History Museum'' is a small museum, but it is a valuable facility where you can learn about the history of the Honaraiba area. Honaraima is now part of Shiojiri City, but it seems that it was once an enclave of the Takato clan and had a free climate. It is clear that this is a village where famous people stayed and had active exchanges with other areas. However, it is a quiet village now because it is located far from the national highway...😅 In addition, at the back of the museum is Kamai-an, a restored mansion of a local celebrity. This is a hermitage where you can learn about the folk customs of this village. (Original) 「本洗馬歴史の里資料館」は小さな資料館ですが、本洗馬地区の歴史を知る事が出来る貴重な施設です。 本洗馬は今は塩尻市の一部ですが、かつては高遠藩の飛び地として、自由な風土だったようです。名士が滞在したり、他地区とも積極的な交流があった村だと言う事が分かります。 とは言え今は国道から離れた位置になる為に静かな集落ですが……😅 また資料館の奥には地元名士の屋敷を復元した釜井庵もあります。この集落の民俗が分かる庵です。

(Translated by Google) It is a museum where you can learn about the history of Washuma. The Kamai-an next door is the hermitage where Masumi Sugae lived, and it seems to be open around Tanabata. The road along the way is a little narrow, so you need to be careful. (Original) 洗馬の歴史がわかる、資料館となっています。 隣の釜井庵は、菅江真澄が暮らした庵となっております、七夕あたりの時期は開いているようです。 道中の道がやや狭いので、注意が必要です。

(Translated by Google) This is a museum about the area where the unique "washing horse culture" was nurtured in the enclave of the Takato domain during the Edo period. The adjacent Kamai-an is a historic building where Masumi Sugae also stayed. (Original) 江戸時代、高遠藩の飛び地で独自の「洗馬文化」を育んだ地の資料館です。隣接する釜井庵は、菅江真澄も逗留した歴史ある建物です。

(Translated by Google) You can learn about the history of Washuma. Although it is a small area, there are many great cultural figures. (Original) 洗馬の歴史が学べます。小さな地域ですがなかなか文化的な偉人が多いです。

(Translated by Google) The cherry blossoms are still blooming. Many white-eyes were flying around the flowers. I'm glad to see it so close. (Original) まだ桜が咲いてます。メジロがたくさん花の周りを飛んでました。こんなに近くに見えて嬉しいです。

(Translated by Google) This is the 59th milestone since Edo. It is said that there were nine milestones in Shiojiri City, but only three remain today. It is said that there were two teahouses in Hiraide Ichirizuka. (Original) 江戸より59番目の一里塚となる。塩尻市には9つの一里塚があったそうだが現在は３つのみ残る。平出一里塚には二軒の茶屋があったとされる。

(Translated by Google) Ichirizuka were built on each highway in 1604 by order of Hidetada Tokugawa, and were almost completed in 1604. Hidetada appointed Hakumoto Nagai, Mitsushige Honda, and others as Ichirizuka magistrates, and quickly commandeered both Shogunate territory and private territory along the Nakasendo Route to prepare the road, and expanded the 36 towns with Edo Nihonbashi as the base. Each mile was defined as one mile, and milestones were built on both sides of the road, and hackberry trees and other plants were planted on top of the mounds to serve as route markers, comforting the traveling spirit and facilitating passage. The width of the road was determined to be 5 ken (9 meters), the mound was 5 ken square, and the height was 1 jo (2 or 3 meters), but after the Meiji period, there was no need for this, and it disappeared one after another, even in the prefecture. There are very few pieces like Hiraide that retain their original shape. During the Edo period, eight milestone mounds were built in Shiojiri City along three roads, but Hiraide is the only one where both mounds remain. This milestone is the 59th one from the starting point of Nihonbashi, and it is known that there were two teahouses in the vicinity around 1756. Shiojiri City Board of Education This milestone pine is also known as Hiraide's milk pine. It is said that taking pine needles can improve milk production. This pine tree is also known as ``Yamamoto Kansuke Gunship Pine, Kansuke Raising Pine''. In 1545, when Takeda Harunobu (Shingen) and Ogasawara Nagatoki fought at Kikyogahara in Shiojiri, Yamamoto Kansuke discovered a crying baby on the battlefield, placed it in a large pine tree, and returned to the battlefield. . When the baby returned to the pine tree after the battle, the dew that fell from the pine staved off his hunger and the baby was doing well. The current pine tree died in 1863, and has survived several generations since then.
