Yudaki Falls

Mentioned on 
Scenic spot
Nature & Parks
Yudaki Falls is a stunning waterfall that originates from Lake Yunoko, dropping over 70 meters down the mountainside before flowing into the Yugawa River. Despite its icy appearance, its name actually means hot water waterfall in Japanese. The falls have an observatory platform that offers visitors a great view of its splendor.
Highly recommend visiting yudaki! Great views, can get close to the waterfall, and far less tourists than Kegon falls. One of the highlights of my trip to the region! Make sure you hike up the side of the waterfall to see the picturesque lake at the top.

We visited here on 11-February-2024 during winter. It was amazing and surrounded by snow. Bridges and paths were covered by snow it was fun to play and walking on the snow. On the top the lake was frozen and water was falling from under the frozen lake. Anyone planning to visit Nikko you must come here in winter season. I believe it will be much spectacular in autumn and spring also. Overall I enjoyed this trip a lot. Maybe because I went with friends and also snow was radiating positive energy.

Yudaki Falls named as one of the most beautiful 5 waterfalls of Nikko. 70 meter high and 110 meter in length waterfall located at the southern tip of Yunoko Lake. Go to all the way down to enjoy full view of its powerful appearance from an observation platform.

The four star is because I'm the Google was written 24 hours open but when arriving the road was closed and restaurant and shops were closed. But the nature is very beautiful The scenery from top to the bottom is amazing On top there is a small lake which you can come down the stairs to the bottom and see abetter view of the waterdal. They also provided a path with woods which you can circulate in different areas nearby the waterfalls. Inarch it's not that special rather it should be beautiful in autumn and later inay etc.

This is a beautiful fall readily accessible by car or bus. I was there on a winter day and there was hardly anyone there. The short walk from the bus stop got a bit challenging due to ice and snow. But it's well worth it.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen in Japan especially during the Autumn foliage.. the pictures speak for themselves! The waterfall is hugged by amazing colorful trees.. must visit during Autumn

It was wonderful. Such a lovely and naturally beautiful fall it is. I just loved to stand there and watch it just like that for some time. It was refreshing and smooth 😍

The track from Ryuzu Falls to Yudaki was beautiful and worth the trip. Roughly 7-8kms and when we got to the top we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful views and then catch a bus down from the top

Beautiful waterfall on the northern outskirts of Nikko. We were surprised to see well over 10 monkeys hanging around in the trees surrounding the area. For parking, we followed the suggestion of another review and parked above the waterfall by the lake, then walked down to avoid the parking fees. I’m sure this is subject to crowd levels and how much you like stairs. It was nice to see the different views of the waterfall from the stairs and the lake at the top. I would caution people to drive carefully and watch their tires on these roads as we got a flat tire from some glass in the area.

Beautiful falls with a small hiking loop you can take. Loved the walk, but there were warnings about bear sighting in the area. If you're lucky might be able to see monkeys! Parking was 500 yen.

The falls are accessible from the top where there’s a free car park. There’s a 500 yen charge for bottom car park. The falls are quite spectacular. You can also walk around Yunoko lake from the top car park.

Yudaki falls is beautiful with autumn leaves. You can see at low and high level. It's quite tired to go up to high level and the top view is just so so for me. The foods at waterfall are so delicious like roasted small fish and mochi. There are trekking routes around waterfalls, both short and long distance. Photo at 18 Oct 2023

Beautiful waterfall and a nice size deck to view the gorgeousness of the water. They also have a trail along the right side that goes all the way up to the top and a small trail along the left near the river. A few good stalls and vendors are right before you each the falls. It’s really a short walk from the parking lot with bathroom facilities. The charge to park and enter is ¥500 for regular size vehicles.

Beautiful view. Could sit and enjoy the way of falling. Small staircase to climb up, where you can enjoy the lake view and waterfall at the top. Nice snack shops are there, where you can buy hot hot Dango 🍡 and grilled fish. There’s small free car park at the top of the waterfall. But the car park down there is ¥500.

Yamanashi Prefectural Science Museum

Museums
Children's museum
Yamanashi Prefectural Science Museum, located in Kofu, offers a range of interactive educational activities and features a planetarium. Despite its small size, the museum is a must-visit for science enthusiasts. Originally housed in Maizuru Castle, it was relocated to its current location in 1998. Visitors can explore exhibitions on astronomy and technology.
上の駐車場が満車でも下の駐車場からシャトルバスで送迎してくれます。 体験、工作充実しています。 こぢんまりしていますが展示が工夫され楽しく、小学生〜高校生の子供たちが皆飽きることなく喜んでいました。 ゆっくり回って、工作2つ体験し、軽食もとり、3時間ほど滞在しました。 サクッと回ってプラネタリウムを楽しむのも良いかも知れません。 食事は小さなフードコートのような感じで、食券制、よくあるレンチンフードです。 スマホの電波の入りが悪いです。 (Translated by Google) Even if the upper parking lot is full, a shuttle bus will take you from the lower parking lot. Experience and work are enriching. Although it was small, the exhibits were well thought out and fun, and all the children, ranging from elementary school to high school, had fun without getting bored. We stayed for about 3 hours, walking around slowly, trying out two crafts, and having some snacks. It might be a good idea to take a quick spin and enjoy the planetarium. Meals are like a small food court, with a ticket system and typical lentil food. The reception on my smartphone is poor.

初めて利用しました。入館料は大人520円、子供220円。プラネタリウムもありました。利用しなかったので料金は覚えておらずすみません。実験装置みたいなものや、体を使う体験型も多数あります。再入館もできるので暑い日は休憩しながら外といったり来たりできます。 敷地内にこどもの国もあって、駐車場も、入園料もかからない公園があります。公園の奥には変わり種自転車も楽しめて長ーい時間乗り回していました。公園は小さい子用のエリアもあるので安心です。10分間の時間制でトランポリンもありました。白い大型のよく見かけるアレです。 ご飯は科学館にリーズナブルなレストランがあります。席数はすごく多い訳ではないので、時間をずらすか、持参するか。管理棟に休憩室的な所があるみたいなので、そちらを利用してもいいかもしれません。 トイレは遊具エリアは建て替えて新しそうだったので、清潔だと思います。 (Translated by Google) I used it for the first time. Admission fee is 520 yen for adults and 220 yen for children. There was also a planetarium. Sorry, I don't remember the price as I didn't use it. There are many things like experimental equipment and hands-on experiences that involve using your body. You can re-enter the museum, so on hot days you can come and go outside while taking a break. There is also a children's country on the premises, and there is a park with no parking or admission fees. In the back of the park, I enjoyed riding an unusual bicycle for a long time. The park also has an area for small children, so you don't have to worry. There was also a trampoline available for 10 minutes. It's a large white thing that you often see. For food, there is a reasonably priced restaurant in the science museum. There aren't that many seats, so either choose a different time or bring your own. There seems to be a rest room in the administration building, so you might be able to use that. I think the restrooms are clean because the play area has been rebuilt and looks new.

甲府駅から近い科学館。甲府駅からのバスで行くと本数が少ないので時間を確認してから訪問されるのがオススメです。 ムーンウォークやシャボン玉、工作、室内遊具、プラネタリウムなどがあり長時間楽しめます。カフェもありますが小腹が空いた時用におやつなどを持参するのがオススメです。 私が訪問した時は屋外遊具が利用できなくなっていたので、リニューアル後にまた訪問したいです。 (Translated by Google) A science museum near Kofu Station. If you go by bus from Kofu Station, there are fewer buses, so we recommend checking the time before visiting. There are moonwalks, soap bubbles, crafts, indoor play equipment, a planetarium, and more, so you can have fun for a long time. There is also a cafe, but we recommend bringing snacks in case you get hungry. When I visited, the outdoor play equipment was no longer available, so I would like to visit again after the renovations.

This museum is almost absolutely aimed at elementary-aged kids. There are many interactive areas for children, but not a lot of science exhibits that adults can enjoy. Many of the exhibits were out of order during our visit. If you don't have kids, skip the museum and enjoy the observation area instead, which has a grand and lovely view of the city below as well as Fuji on a clear day.

Went on a Sunday during summer vacation and Google said it was "very busy", but absolutely empty compared to similar facilities in Tokyo or Osaka. Lots of activities for the kids, a very reasonably priced cafeteria, and nice wooded area with playgrounds around the place. Not too many English explanations, but kids tend to not read them anyway, so still work a visit if you don't speak Japanese

(Translated by Google) It was a sunny day, so you can enjoy the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji at this art museum located in a mountain village. The color scheme of the building is also cool. The first floor is mainly a display of collected works by Professor Omura, and the other area is a display of items connected to a chronology that traces Professor Omura's history from his childhood. On the second floor, there was a space where you could sit while the special exhibition and lecture videos played. There are a lot of things to choose from, from famous people like Shoen Uemura, Tamako Kataoka, and Yuki Ogura to people you've never heard of. There was also work by Yayoi Kusama, currently the most popular Japanese artist. I think it's interesting that you can go outside the building on the first floor, and you can go back and forth between the calm atmosphere and the world view of the work. A TBS crew came to film and they asked me, ``Are you local?'' When I said, ``Not at all,'' they went somewhere else (lol). Even though he won the Nobel Prize, he contributed to the Japanese art world in his hometown and elsewhere, and was impressed by the way he lived his life without relying on fame or authority, so I wanted to visit this museum at least once. I wish that the useless self-proclaimed researchers who produce poor results and the many bureaucrats who do not work for the country, who are working on public funds, would visit the site at least once and follow Dr. Omura's example and write a report. (Original) 晴れていたので富士山の壮麗な姿を楽しめる山里の中の美術館。建物の配色もカッコいいです。 主に一階は大村先生の蒐集された作品展示ともう一つのエリアは幼い頃から順を追って大村先生の歴史を辿る年表縁の品の展示。 二階は企画展と聴講映像が流れる中、座れるスペースがある感じになっていました。 上村松園、片岡球子、小倉遊亀とか著名な方からあまり聞いたことのないものまで色々。日本人アーティストでは今一番売れっ子の草間彌生さんの作品もありました。 一階は、建物外にも出られ、穏やかな空気と作品の世界観を行き来出来るのも、面白いと思います。 TBSのクルーが撮影に来ており、「地元の方ですか?」と声をかけられたのですが、「全然違います」と言ったらどこかに行ってしまいました(笑) ノーベル賞を受賞しても、地元や別畑の日本の美術界に貢献し、名誉や権威に寄りかからない生き様に、感銘を受け、一度は行きたかった美術館。 公金チューチューの、ろくな結果を残さない役立たずな自称研究者や国の為に働かない多くの官僚たちも、一度は訪れて、大村先生を見習ってレポートを書いて欲しいことよ。

(Translated by Google) I stayed at Isawa Onsen and stopped by. The one-day hot spring in front of the museum was also built by Dr. Omura. For public transport, there is a community bus that leaves from Nirasaki Station, but the number of buses is small, so if you are short on time, we recommend using a taxi.

(Translated by Google) I visited during the best season, the flower season. The location of the museum and related facilities is excellent. I went to a famous cherry blossom spot called "Sakura Wanitsuka" near the museum. Cherry blossoms are scattered in the series of satoyama, and the mountain surface is dyed in a warm and deep reddish purple color. Mt. Fuji and Yatsugatake, which can be seen in the distance, still carry white snow. You can enjoy the beauty unique to Yamanashi prefecture. The museum is located near Dr. Satoshi Omura's home, and there is a building where soba noodles and Hakusan Onsen line up in a garden-like place. ☆ The reason for reducing one is that there are so many paintings in the collection and the exhibition is crowded. It is difficult to see one work from a distance, from near to far. It may be a luxury problem. (Original) ベストシーズン、花の時期に訪れました。美術館も関連施設もロケーションが最高。美術館の直ぐ近くにある「わに塚の桜」という桜の名所に回りました。連なる里山には桜が点在し、山肌は暖かく深い色味の赤紫色に染まっています。遠く望める富士山と八ヶ岳は、まだ白雪を載せています。山梨県ならではの美観が楽しめます。 美術館は、大村智博士の御自宅の近くにあり、庭のような所に、お蕎麦処と白山温泉が仲良く並ぶ建物があります。 ☆ひとつ減らした理由は、収蔵絵画作品がとても多くて、展示が込み合っていることです。ひとつの作品を近くから遠くからと、離れて観るのが難しい。贅沢な悩みかもしれません。

This time I went to a special exhibition by Motoko Morita, and I was able to take a closer look at her works and understand the changes in her style.

(Translated by Google) The special exhibition features works by Shintaro Suzuki. Dr. Omura says, ``The first oil paintings I collected were works by Shintaro,'' and he is energized by the works depicting everyday life. Personally, I was fascinated by landscape paintings of Hikawamaru in Yokohama, Choshi, and Nagasaki. It wasn't crowded so I was able to enjoy the view at my leisure. You can also deepen your understanding of Dr. Omura by viewing the permanent exhibition and watching the program ``My Resume'' featuring Dr. Omura. In 2021, he will serve as a torchbearer at the Tokyo Olympics, and his torch was also displayed. You can also get discount tickets to the hot springs next to the museum, so you might want to go there as well. Dr. Omura continues to contribute to his hometown of Nirasaki. I would love to visit you again. (Original) 企画展は、鈴木信太郎さんの作品。大村博士が「初めてコレクションした油絵は信太郎の作品」ということで、日常の様子を描いた作品たちに元気をもらいます。 個人的には、横浜の氷川丸、銚子、長崎の風景画に魅入られていました。 混雑していないためゆっくり鑑賞できてよかったです。 また常設展と、大村博士をフィーチャーした「私の履歴書」という番組を観ることができ、大村博士について理解を深めることができます。2021年には東京五輪で聖火ランナーをつとめ、トーチも飾られていました。 美術館隣の温泉の割引チケットもいただけるので、合わせて行きたいところです。 生まれ故郷の韮崎に貢献し続ける大村博士。 ぜひまたお伺いしたいです。

I didn't know about this shrine beforehand, just stumbled upon it while photographing the nearby cherry tree. The rustic shrine gate leads through a street of old homes to a shrine set among towering cedars. Very atmospheric and spiritually charged, with very few other people around. Be sure to walk around the side and look for the demon face under the roof peak.

(Translated by Google) I feel the history because 2022 is 1200 years old. Will an event be held? I am afraid of Corona, but I pray that it can be held safely. I was wondering if it was here that Dr. Omura entered in "My resume" that I saw at Dr. Omura's museum, but I was afraid that a bear would appear. Dr. Omura had never seen it before and went inside the fence to collect soil. I heard that I have seen monkeys and deer. I'm not sure if it's here. There is a splendid tree, and I hope that such a building will remain forever.

(Translated by Google) I visited at the end of March. Unfortunately the weather was a bit chilly. Once you pass the somewhat reserved Ichino-Torii gate and pass through the cool Nino-Torii gate, you will see the slope heading towards you. The precincts are quiet and have a somewhat calm atmosphere. Sakuramon? The stone steps from there to the Kaguraden were low and easy to climb. I think one of the highlights is the red demon glaring at the oni tile of the main shrine. There are also Wanizuka cherry blossoms in this area, so it might be a good idea to visit them at the same time. (Original) 3月終盤に訪れました。あいにくのお天気でちょっと肌寒かったです。ちょっと遠慮気味な一ノ鳥居を通過して渋い二ノ鳥居をくぐりますと坂道の向かうに見えてきます。境内は静かでちょっと落ち着いた雰囲気です。桜門?から神楽殿までの石段は低くて上り安かったです。本殿の鬼瓦のあたりには赤鬼さんが睨んでいて見所の1つではないかなと思います。この辺りにはワニ塚の桜もあるのでこれから同時に訪れるのも良いかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) The precincts are an old shrine in a quiet environment surrounded by mountains and have a sacred atmosphere. It's not flashy, but the wooden torii gate, the old-fashioned shrine, the stone torii gate, and the tower gate are quaint, and the one stone 100 Kannon stone statue on the approach is a little scary but mysterious. It's a shrine that makes you aware that you're in the shrine (Original) 境内はそこそこ広く山に囲まれ静かな環境にある古社で神聖な雰囲気です 派手さはないですが、木造のニの鳥居、古式ゆかしい社殿、石鳥居、楼門は趣があって、参道の一石百観音石像はちょっと怖いけど神秘的で、熊出没注意の看板は自然の中にいることを意識させてくれて、見ごたえ十分な神社です

(Translated by Google) I visited there when I went to see the ``Wanizuka Cherry Blossoms'' nearby. There is a village called ``Takeda'' in the vicinity, and this shrine is where Nobuyoshi Takeda, the first generation member of the Kai-Takeda clan, attended his Genpuku shrine, and was said to have been deeply worshiped by the Takeda family even after that. Nobuyoshi Takeda was the grandson of Minamoto no Yorinobu, who was called one of Fujiwara no Michinaga's Four Heavenly Kings, and the great-grandson of Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, whose older brother was Yawata Taro Yoshiie (connected to Yoritomo in the main family line). Minamoto no Yoshimitsu held successive positions as Hitachi no Suke and Kai no kami, took a wife from the Hitachi Taira clan, and expanded his power to Hitachi. Yoshikiyo, the son of Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, inherited Takeda-go, Naka District, Hitachi Province (present-day Hitachinaka City) from his father, and called himself ``Takeda.'' However, as his son Kiyomitsu lost in a territorial dispute, he moved to Kawaso, Ichikawa Province, Kai Province (present-day Ichikawa Misato Town). ), where he and his children were exiled and became natives, becoming the founder of the Kai Takeda clan (Yoshimitsu - Yoshikiyo - Kiyomitsu - Nobuyoshi). Nobuyoshi Takeda was born in 1128 and died in 1186. In 1180, when Minamoto no Yoritomo raised an army to overthrow the Heike clan, he was 52 years old...was he the one who fought against the pursuing army led by Taira no Koremori at Fuji River? I thought it was Nobuyoshi himself, and Tomohito Yashima, the leader of the Kai-Takeda clan who joined Yoritomo, played by Hiroshi Oizumi, in NHK's Taiga "Kamakura-dono no 13-nin" the year before last, was indeed Nobuyoshi Takeda ( lol). The 16th generation from Takeda Nobuyoshi was Takeda Shingen. Also in 1988, I remembered the scene in NHK Taiga's ``Takeda Shingen'' where Kiichi Nakai, who played Shingen, shouted ``Look at Lord Saburo Yoshimitsu of Silla!'' with all the soldiers... (Original) すぐ近くにある「わに塚の桜」を見に出かけた折に訪問した。付近は「武田」と呼ばれる集落、この神社は甲斐武田氏の初代・武田信義が元服した社で、その後も武田家から篤い信仰を受けたとあった。 武田信義は、藤原道長の四天王と呼ばれた源頼信の孫で、八幡太郎義家(本家筋で頼朝に繋がる)を兄に持つ新羅三郎義光のひ孫にあたる。源義光は、常陸介、甲斐守などを歴任し、常陸平氏から妻を得て常陸にその勢力を拡げていく。源義光の子・義清は、父から常陸国那珂郡武田郷(現ひたちなか市)を譲り受け「武田」と名乗るが、その子・清光が領土紛争に敗れたため、甲斐国市河荘(現市川三郷町)へ親子ともども配流され土着、そして甲斐武田氏の祖となった(義光ー義清ー清光ー信義)。 武田信義は1128生まれで1186没。源頼朝が平家打倒の兵を挙げた1180年には齢52歳…富士川で平維盛率いる追討軍と戦ったのはその子?と思いきや信義本人で、一昨年のNHK大河「鎌倉殿の13人」で大泉洋さん演ずる頼朝のもとに加勢した甲斐武田氏の棟梁・八嶋智人さんは、確かに武田信義だった(笑)。 武田信義から16代目が武田信玄。同じく1988年NHK大河「武田信玄」で、信玄役の中井貴一さんが「新羅三郎義光公、ご照覧あれ!」と全兵と掛け声を合わせるシーンを思い出した…

(Translated by Google) What felt strange was that the shrine office had a temporary feel to it and was crowded with construction workers. Apparently the shrine office is under construction. It seems that someone is in the back of the shrine office, but I don't want to call them, so I leave a goshuin stamp, Tametomo Shrine, and two pieces of money totaling 1,000 yen in an unattended mailbox. Although I was a bit taken aback by the extravagant display of the gate, which had a banner hanging over it for 1200 years, it turned out to be the mysterious place I was looking for, with a majestic world stretching out beyond the gate. Ha, that was good (lol) Speaking of Hachiman-sama, I think of Genji. The Kai-Genji Takeda clan, who ruled this area, also worshiped it. The most amazing thing is that the main shrine, designated as a national important cultural property, is said to have been started by his father Nobutora and rebuilt by Takeda Shingen. On the other hand, the unfortunate truth is that Shingen's successor, Katsuyori's wife, is said to have prayed for victory in the war, which raises questions about the blessings. (Although relying on the gods would not have helped.) After the fall of Takeda, the Tokugawa family placed great importance on Kai, eventually making it their Tenryo, and it is said that they also protected it generously. Proceeding further from the main shrine, there is Tametomo Shrine and the ruins of Hakusan Castle, which is said to be a model for mountain castles, but as of August, many bees had appeared and were clinging to the area beyond Tametomo Shrine, so we gave up. In the first place, it's a bit... considering the wire mesh used to keep bears away. (Original) 違和感があったのは仮の感じが半端ない社務所と工事関係者で賑わっていた事。どうやら社務所建設中なのねと。社務所内奥にどなたかいらした様だが、呼び出すのもなぁと書き置き御朱印、為朝神社と二枚計千円を無人ポストに入れて頂く。鎮座千二百年の横断幕が掲げられたド派手な演出の門と合わせ色々面食らった部分こそあれど、門から先は荘厳な世界が広がる求めていた神秘的な場所だった。ハァ良かった(笑)八幡さまといえば源氏。この地を治めた甲斐源氏武田氏も歴代崇拝した訳で。最も凄いのが、父信虎が着手し、武田信玄が再建したとされる国重要文化財指定本殿が今も残るという事。逆に残念な事実として、信玄後継の勝頼夫人が戦勝祈願したとされるところでご利益に疑問が出てしまうが・・・。(神頼みではどうにもならなかっただろうけど)武田滅亡後、最終的には天領とするなど徳川家は甲斐を重要視し、こちらも手厚く保護したとされる。本殿から先に進むと為朝神社、さらには山城のお手本とも評される白山城跡があるが、8月時点で為朝神社から先は多くの蜂が現れてまとわりつかれたので断念した。そもそも熊避けの金網からしてちょっと・・・。

(Translated by Google) Visit the shrine before seeing the cherry blossoms at Oninzuka! It's a bad year, so I worshiped it! There's a parking lot! That helps a lot! (Original) 王仁塚の桜を見る前に参拝! 厄年なので拝み倒しました! 駐車場あります!助かります!

(Translated by Google) It is located in a quiet place at the top of the mountain and seems to be a power spot. The parking lot is large and can accommodate many parking spaces. The trees are really big and you can feel the history. You can see a lot in 15 minutes. (Original) 山の上の方で静かなところにありパワースポットみたいです。駐車場は広くてたくさん停めれます。木がめちゃくちゃ大きく歴史を感じます。15分もあればいろいろ見ることができます。

Michinoeki Shirane

Toll road rest stop
Rest stop
Visitor Centers
Michinoeki Shirane is a rest stop located on the toll road that offers a food court and various stalls selling locally grown fruits such as plums, melons, and peaches. The fruits available are in season and of good quality. This stop is well worth considering when driving along the toll road for its delicious fruit offerings and convenient location.
Not bad

観光案内所とトイレのみの 小さな道の駅。 サクランボ狩の前にトイレ利用。 駐車場には駐車スタッフがいました。 サクランボ狩の当日受取の窓口があり長蛇の列でした。 お昼頃で受取終了になっていました。 野菜など物産は道路向かいにあるJA直売所で売ってます。

(Translated by Google) Roadside Station Shirane only has an information center, and farm-fresh vegetables and other products are available at the JA farm products store across the road. Are there fewer items such as vegetables? We sell a variety of products such as Shingen Mochi and Shine Muscat Butter. In January, various types of dried persimmons that I had never seen before were on sale. (Original) 道の駅しらねは案内所のみで、産直野菜や物産は道をはさんだJA農産物直販場にあります。 野菜などの品数は少ないかな? 信玄餅やシャインマスカットバターなど色々販売してます。 1月は見たことのない色々な種類の干し柿が売ってました。

(Translated by Google) I've been here several times to buy fruit. It's interesting that there are some unusual varieties. The map shows it as a roadside station, but the local product store is actually the building across the street. Fruit season is displayed! Check this out and come join us this season! Personally, I want to come during cherry season! It was a feast! I'll come back later. If you have time... Please also visit the ``Minami Alps City Hometown Culture and Tradition Museum'' (free of charge). How did the area become so rich in fruits? You can understand. (Original) 果物買いに何度か来ています。 変わった品種があったりして、面白いです。 マップでは道の駅の表示になってますが、実質物産館は向かいの建物です。 果物のシーズンが表示されてます! これを見て、そのシーズンにいらして下さいね! 個人的には…今度はさくらんぼのシーズンに来たいな! ご馳走さまでした!また来ます。 お時間がありましたら… 「南アルプス市 ふるさと文化伝承館」(無料)にも是非いらしてみて下さい。 どうしてこんな果物で豊富な地区になったか?がわかりますよ。

(Translated by Google) There is also an express bus stop. The farmers market across the street is also a roadside station, Shirane. It is possible to walk there at a crosswalk, but Google Maps shows that it is different from here, so I think you need to be careful. (Original) 高速バスの停留所もあります。 道向かいの農産物直売所も道の駅しらねです。そこには横断歩道を歩いていく事は可能ですがグーグルマップではこことは別なので注意が必要だと思います。

(Translated by Google) A roadside station is a rest facility that has a resting function for road users, provides information, and collaborates with the local community.In principle, there is no charge for using the facility, and the parking lot and restrooms are open 24 hours a day. The parking lot can accommodate about 30 regular cars and 4 large cars. There was a charging spot, a parking lot for the disabled, and the restrooms were clean. The female staff at the information corner are especially helpful, and there is also a kids and baby corner. Shirane Town in Nakakoma District has been changed to Minami Alps City, and this is the first time I heard that this area is the hometown of Kai dogs. Please note that you must cross Alps Street to access the Michi-no-Eki Shirane Agricultural Products Market. (Original) 道の駅は道路利用者のための休憩機能や情報提供機能及び地域の連携機能を併せ持ち、原則 施設の使用料は無料で駐車場、トイレは24時間開放する休憩施設です。 駐車場は普通車30台ぐらいで大型車は4台停められます。充電スポット、身障者用駐車場もありトイレは綺麗でした。情報コーナの女性スタッフの対応は特に良くキッズベビーコーナーもあります。中巨摩郡白根町が南アルプス市に変わっており、この地域が甲斐犬の郷と初めて聞きました。道の駅しらね農産物直売所はアルプス通りを渡らないと行けないので注意をして下さい。

(Translated by Google) The parking lot for large vehicles is not very spacious, with space for 4 cars. (Original) 大型車駐車枡は4台分、そんなに広くないです。

(Translated by Google) I went to buy grapes without a plan. I stopped by based on the reviews here, and I was excited to see that they were selling a lot of grapes at very low prices. It's close to the highway, so I'd definitely go there again. The Shine Muscat soft serve ice cream also had a refreshing scent and was delicious. (Original) ノープランで葡萄を買いに行来ました。こちらの口コミも参考に立ち寄ったところ、たくさん葡萄がとても安く売っててテンション上がりました。 高速道路からも近いし、また行こうと思います。 シャインマスカットソフトクリームも香りが爽やかで美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Marche where fresh vegetables are sold Across the street, the facility with a sign saying Michi-no-Eki Shirane was an information center with toilets, vending machines, and area information pamphlets. At Marche, a bunch of Muscat was sold at a price of ¥800, which is unheard of in the city, and everyone was buying boxes. Muscat soft serve ice cream is exquisite for ¥350. (Original) 新鮮野菜が売っているマルシェは 道を挟んだ向かい側、道の駅しらねとして看板が出ている施設はトイレと自販機と地域案内パンフレットなどが置いてある案内所だった。マルシェではマスカットが一房¥800と都心では見られない値段で売られており、皆さん箱買いされていた。マスカットソフトクリームが絶品¥350。
