Part of the Chichibu Tama Kai National
Park, Shosenkyo Gorge (or Shosenkyo Valley), located near Kofu City, is a
beautiful area and one of the top destinations in Yamanashi Prefecture for
those who want to enjoy the autumn leaves, momiji.
Hiking fans can get to Sengataki walking
through a 4 km trail full of centenary trees and stunning views along the
Arakawa river, departing from Shosenkyo Tozanguchi bus stop, but other options
would be to get off the bus at the Greenline Shosenkyo stop, one kilometer from
the Sengataki Fall, or at Shosenkyo Taki Ue, next to the cable car station.
During this autumn, two events will make
Shosenkyo even more colorful!
From October 20th to November 25th,
Sengataki Fall will receive a special illumination, making the autumn nights
brighter, and on October 20th, 21st and 22nd,
3000 bamboo lanterns will be light up in the area while Japanese traditional
instruments performances are held, in a event called Shosenkyo Takeakari.
