Awesome place to go see. A must go destination in Tokyo. It does get very busy so I recommend taking the train but there is parking available nearby too. So many cool thing to see here and do. A great day trip location. So many shops and restaurants and neat things to take pictures of.

Absolutely one of my favorite spots in Tokyo. Yes, very touristy but if you want iconic photos I'd argue this is THE spot for them. Lots of food and trinket vendors in the area and if you time it well, you may catch a local celebration which brings even more energy and food vendors to the area! As a bonus, you can purchase a range of blessings inside the temple. There are a range of Wonderful and historical items to view in this general area as well.

We went there at 8am as it is a stone away from our accommodation. It was raining that morning so maybe that is the reason why only a few tourists are there, and we pass by the stores that mostly close at that time. Lovely to see the intricate connection details, the big lantern, pagoda, and the main temple. After a short tour, we decided to buy some snacks that are filled with red beans and it was delicious. When we are heading outside the temple at 9am, we were greeted by the big influx of tourist.

The place was crowded but it was well worth it. Many stone carvings and statues around the grounds. There were lots of stands selling things or all types statues, mask, food and other souvenir worthy things. The temple itself was beautiful. A whole lotta red. You can pray or give thanks and they sell charms inside too.

The temple buildings and grounds are beautiful. The architecture is stunning, grounds immaculate, and vibe amazing for Tokyo. Coming from the main gate, you go through many vendors selling food, drinks, and souvenirs before you get to the temple itself. It's an extremely touristy in that area, and after early morning, it gets extremely busy and crowded. After you pass the crowds in the street market, it gets quieter so you can enjoy the temple itself more. So whether you go for the street vendor atmosphere or the temple itself, it's definitely worth a visit.

Visited before during the day in the past, felt like I was drifting in a sea of people, ha ha. This time I visited at night on a weekday and it was awesome; fewer people and the structures were far more vivid at night under both spotlight and moonlight. Surrounded by markets and restaurants, cool place for a late night stroll. Pagoda was my favourite structure overall, seemed like fewer people were interested in it for some reason.

Beautiful and must not be missed on your Tokyo trip. Best if you go early in the morning to avoid congestion at the temple. Arrive by 8am to enjoy and watch the shops open and begin to fill. Plan to spend a few hours here enjoying the architecture, traditions, food and other vendors. You will not be disappointed.

Sensoji is a very famous temple in Tokyo. Everyone knows this place. I often go to this place to shop at the shops around the temple or to take pictures with the beautiful scenery here. This place is always crowded with visitors especially on holidays. Many Japanese people come to pray at the shrine here. But for a foreigner like me, this place has become a favorite tourist spot in Tokyo.

This temple is a good start for new tourist to Japan. A long shopping street leading to the temple is nice for photos or souvenirs. sellers are nice, can speak English, offer Japanese stuff. The surrounding is full of restaurant and all kinds of Japanese food and desserts. Tourists are crowded in the front of the temple but getting inside will give you more air and better photos. You can also see Tokyo Tower from here.

One of the famous places must go in Tokyo, Japan. The shrine is crowded all the time; along the way to the main shrine, you will find souvenir shops where people shops for snacks and window shopping. Also, Japanese wears by travelers are also popular there. The shrine inside is less crowded and travelers are pay respect and meditation pray there for happiness and etc.

Very crowded and popular tourist attraction. I went on the weekend and I am sure it was much busier than on a weekday. I came by train and the station was very close and convenient and very crowded. Many tourists were dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos which made the experience particularly nice. The temple itself is very beautiful. There were a lot of people burning incense which I assume has some religious significance. Also there are these boxes that have fortune telling papers. You shake a container and randomly pull a stick out of it which has a number which tells you which drawer to get your fortune. The adjacent shopping area has a huge selection of shops selling traditional Japanese souvenirs and products. Also many restaurants offering primarily Japanese cuisine including Sushi restaurants. This tourist attraction is well worth a visit for the ambience alone but also for shopping and eating.

It was my first time at this beautiful temple. I was super busy, lots of people came to visit and definitely could see why. There were lots of small shops and food stalls. When you made it to the temple it was stunning. There was also lots of shine and a beautiful little garden you can walk through. I would definitely recommend coming to see this temple. Five out of five

You guys probably already know that this is an amazing great tourist attraction to visit. Even though the vendors are closed in the evening or at night, I recommend coming here at night as the shrine and temples are nicely lit and it is just different vibe compared to during the day. It is also less crowded for all the introverts who just want to enjoy a stroll. If you come at night when the shops are closed, you can see the mural paintings depicting the festivities that occur in the shrine throughout time. It is pretty cool.

This beautiful temple is not just a cultural marvel but also a hub for local businesses. Street like Food stalls to charming souvenir shops, it's a delightful marketplace. Consider renting a kimono for an immersive experience. We explored day and night; the crowd was manageable, and lines were short. The temple grounds are free, with stunning landscaping. While there's a fee for full temple access, the partial view is beautiful. A must-visit iconic spot for tourists in Tokyo, blending tradition with commerce.

An iconic location for Tokyo. A must visit for tourists. Tons of small shops around that sell food and goodies. You have to expect crowds. We went in the late evening, so we couldn’t get inside. Everything is beautiful and well maintained. You can pay 100 yens for trying a fortune. If you get a bad fortune, just fold it and tie it to the string. On a nice day you can see the Tokyo sky tree from there too.

It’s one of the main tourist attractions in Tokyo. Beautifully constructed temple in Tokyo. Lots of shops are available on both sides of the lane in the temple. It’s also called as Asakusa temple. Night view is really awesome. During Sakura season it’s a delight to see the beauty. It’s of the picturesque spots in Tokyo. Every photographer in Tokyo will atleast have 50-100 pics of Sensoji temple. It’s the first temple I visited in Tokyo. So I personally like this place. A must visit temple to any foreigner in Tokyo who believes in god.

It’s even more amazing at night. A definite must see for any traveler/tourist when visiting Tokyo. So many cool shops around the temple as well. Great place for photo opportunities and enjoying the whole Japanese experience.

Beautiful Buddhist temple, centrally located and easily accessible by public transport. Get there early in the day for a less crowded experience, however before 10/10.30AM you’ll likely find most of the shops still closed. You’ll find public restrooms and some food stalls. Food isn’t great but not bad either.

We came here ourselves and not with a tour group. This temple and the whole complex is bigger than we realised, and it was definitely worth coming to see and so remarkable. There were just far too many people at the main gate and along the main street leading to the main great. With the benefit of hindsight, we should have come here early in the day, and not mid afternoon. Absolutely stunning and definitely worth seeing, but be prepared for all the people.

During my visit to Tokyo, Japan in 2019. I had a wonderful time visiting and exploring the various cultural opportunities the country provided. Ranging from historical landmarks, to temples, to delicious food stalls and souvenir shops that offer a variety of goodies to take back home.

This place was bigger than I expected. We visited here on a National Holiday. It was crowded but we managed to move around easily. You can visit this place in 30 minutes or longer depending on the time you have. We spent about an hour here and I felt it was plenty of time. It's worth the visit, and there is no entry fee.

I love this place. It’s so relaxing and peaceful. There’s also many stores surrounding the temple where you can enjoy buying food, souvenirs, or just walking around. It remind me of a anime and feels unreal. We went late at night and there was still a lot of people and the surrounding of this temple have so much late lights restaurants. I love the atmosphere and highly recommend coming here.

Cool place, but it's a tourist trap. You need a paid guide to tell you where you can buy things at cheaper prices. The gates and overall market is cool, but not alike any other "Chinese town" (obviously this is japanese) from anywhere. Well on that point, I wish we had "Japanese towns" everywhere.

The must visit place in Tokyo in my opinion. This whole area is worth spending a day in. A perfect mix of old, and new. You will be amazed at the age and beauty here. This is what I thought Japan would be like. It is a little crowded but everyone was so nice and helpful. Shops everywhere with awesome souvenirs at every price range. You are missing out if you don't go here. Enjoy and best wishes.

The temple is truly majestic! Its grand, solid architecture and vibrant colors stand out. Particularly famous for its colossal lanterns at the entrance, guiding visitors into the magnificent hall. Surrounding the temple are numerous shops offering food and various trinkets. An enjoyable activity is dressing up in a Kimono and strolling toward the temple for picturesque moments. You'll find several excellent rental shops near the entrance. Located just a 10-minute walk from the rail station, plan for 1-2 hours to explore the temple and its surroundings. If you're opting for the Kimono experience, allocate a generous 3-4 hours for a leisurely stroll. They also offer handwritten goshuin, making it a definite must-visit.

Very busy with lots of families. But honestly, it just gave off a lively experience. There are market shops and little food stalls along the main walkway. The temple is simply impressive. Beautiful architecture. I loved reading the signs about the history. Finding out that I had a “regular fortune” for ¥100 was honestly hilarious and nothing short of expected. Overall, it was a great experience and I definitely recommend.

Came in the morning and night, and was surprised at how different the vibes are. Hands down I liked night better as it’s more tranquil and more temple vibes compared to morning where there are so many tour groups even though we came at 9am. The temple looks nice when lit up too. Maybe it’s nicer if the sky is clear as we went on a cloudy day. See pictures for comparison. Can go there both morning and night to see the difference for yourself.

Beautiful temple providing a nice oasis amidst the bustling Tokyo city, but extremely packed with tourists. The otherwise peaceful nature of the temples and the garden are not noticeable amongst the chaotic crowds jostling for the best angle for a photo op. Leading up to and encircling the temple grounds are vendors galore - food, snacks, trinkets, souvenirs, you name it. I stopped and got some street food nearby which was pretty good and capped my visit to Asakusa by walking along the waterway to admire the cherry blossom trees. As long as you don’t mind the crazy crowds, then this is a must-see spot in Tokyo.

Went here early morning November 2023. The best time to go is really early in the day, otherwise it would be packed and difficult to go through. Lots of shops leading up to the temple but they look like tourist traps. The temple though is beautiful, even the gardens outside. A bit further out is a memorial garden dedicated to haiku poets.

Must visit shrine in Tokyo! It's really crowded during the day, but it didn't really bother us very much. I also really recommend going at night, where the shrine is lit up beautifully. There's also food stalls and shop in the streets around the shrine and the area is very beautiful. Don't miss this place when coming to Tokyo!!

Must-go place in Tokyo. Even though the place was extremely crowded, we enjoyed the Asakusa temples and neighborhood. Along the way you will find many unique vendors and fun eateries. So many people walked around with beautiful kimono. Highly recommend this place to visit while in Tokyo.

My hubby and I visited the temple during the day and at night. If you want to see the temple without the crowds (and be able to read the signs), I'd highly recommend going early in the morning (before 8am) or at night. It's an incredible temple and regardless of your religious or spiritual views, it will be worth the visit.

The temple as well as the Asakusa neighborhood are beautiful, although the latter can feel a bit touristy. It is a very popular destination in Tokyo, a must see, so even though we arrived relatively early (8 AM), the place was already pretty crowded making it hard to take good photos and enjoy the site. It probably didn't help that it was on a week-end, during cherry blossom season. By 10 AM, the place was so packed that it was hard to move around, let alone take any photos. So lesson learn, better arrive early to beat the crowd and have a more pleasant experience.

We went for a casual hike to Takao-san. Super easy to get to via the Keio line from Shinjuku station. Make sure to grab the special/limited express train to get to Takaosanguchi station a little faster. After that it's a short (but super crowded) walk, starting at the right of the station, and up to the cable car station at the base of the mountain. We went up the Inariyama trail which starts to the left of the cable car station entrance. A little steep here and there but a very enjoyable walk up. The summit was very crowded and views were so-so, would advise taking a quick look and then spending more time on the trails. We took the Summit loop (trail 5) around the top and descended via Suspension bridge trail (trail 4), did the Kasumidai loop (trail 2) and then switched to Biwa waterfall (trail 6) for the rest of the way down. These trails avoid the crowds on trails 1 (Omotesando) and 3 (Katsura forest), and are really enjoyable to walk. Going much earlier in the morning is the best way to avoid crowds but there are certainly ways to minimize it by taking some of the 'harder' or 'steeper' routes which shouldn't be a challenge for most people at an average fitness level. Would recommend outdoor/hiking shoes, sneakers are fine as long as you don't mind them getting dirty. At the cable car station at the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of Japanese food stalls, worth trying and to support the local economy. With a nice clean park nearby, it's worth enjoying a small bite to eat and a local beer after a nice day out on the trails.

This mountain is great for moderate hiking. There are both safe trails and dangerous trails for adventurous people. The scene at the top of the mountain is picturesque. There are some food stores and drink vending machines along the way so you do not have to worry about those. For those who wanted to use the cable lift here, it gets crowded at times so be prepared to wait.

Visited to try out the lift chair and found the experience enjoyable. Despite the cold rain, the view was still delightful. A serene and peaceful spot.

Only 45min by train from Shinjuku Station, Takao Mountain is a great option for a hike in the nature. I suggest to get to Takaosan-guchi station of Keio Line (there is also JR line, but it is far form the start of the hiking trail). There are different routes to get to the top, but I suggest to take the alternative routes and not the pain, paved one, since is its very crowded and steep. You can get to the top in around 2 hours. I also suggest the sento (hot public bath) at the Takaosan-guchi Station. I also enjoyed the monkey zoo and the Tengu temple. In summertimes, there is also a beer garden but it was way too crowded.

Great place to spend a day in nature, just an hour away from Tokyo. Several different trails to get to the summit. I found trail 6 to be quite pleasant, and easy, with the exception of the last stretch before the summit, which has a lot of steps. Trail 1 might seem the easiest one, as it’s paved and half the path can be done on the cable car or chair lift. However, the path is quite steep, and in my opinion there is too many people going up and down all the time, which in my opinion, doesn’t allow to experience the beautiful nature of the mountain.

Moderate hike, aside from the summit, some highlights were the beautiful hydrangeas in bloom, the giant ancient cedar trees and the visit to the shrine. Recommend getting the round trip discounted tickets and cable car/chair lift package from Shinjuku station !

A classic hike in Tokyo. There are better places to hike if you're willing to travel further from the city, but this is a great spot considering access from the city center. There are a lot of shrines and other things to see. There are multiple hiking routes, or the cable car to the top.

One of the best sunsets during our trips though Japan. But see for yourself. Of course don‘t go there while the weather is cloudy. Then you can‘t see Mt. Fuji. The way up itself is not very entertaining.

First half of trail 1 is basically hiking up extreme slopes. Gets more scenic after reaching the halfway point. Grab a beer at the top to reward yourself! Nice getaway from the busy Tokyo city center

I decided to climb Mount Takao this past weekend. I had brought a backpack with my overnight gear, camera, laptop, snacks, and a couple of bottles of water. My intention was to put everything except the water in a locker at the train station but all of the lockers were taken. I had no choice but to carry my heavy load with me. You can probably guess what happened. With each ascending step, the backpack felt heavier and heavier. After about an hour, I was sweating profusely and breathing hard. When I stopped to rest and drink some water, I noticed that the lift station for the ropeway was close by. I felt a bit of shame taking the lift down the mountain but I told myself it was better than potentially coming down in an ambulance. There’s a nice onsen next to the Keio station. I relaxed there while waiting for my group to finish the climb.

Very scenic hike. I took trail 6 up and it gets a bit challenging near the top. Then walk down trail 1 to pass through the temples and buy a souvenir. Would definitely come again in warmer weather to hike the other trails.

It is one of the best day trips from Tokyo I did! We got there by train which is easily accessible. We decided for the chair lift up (a cable car is available as well) and walked the remaining way up to the summit. Prices for both are low. It is easy to walk though it might be still exausting, when your body isn't used to much activity. We intended to walk down. The summit offers such an awesome view of the mountainous nature around and even free view of Fuji-san as long as the weather is good enough. We didn't know about Fuji views and were so overwhelmed by it! What a luck we had. Way down we choose Trail 6. It seemed to be a nice walk through the woods at first. Then a staircase down the steepest parts and down the dale we reached the beginnings of the small stream that results in Biwa Falls. The trail is not easy even desending when you're no trained person. The trail within the dale leads directly through the water. You'll have to walk through it or have to walk from stone to stone keeping shoes dry. This continues some time and offers an awesome view like going through rainforest. I loved it. Around half the way the trail continues as a small path so walking gets easier. White sneaker won't stay white here. Totally worth the hike. Restaurants at the starting point offer you food to get your energy levels (re)filled. Takao-san is more crowded than e.g. Mitake-san, but definitely offers the better view.

One of the most scenic climbs in Tokyo. We went on a weekday and it was not as busy as advertised. Highly recommend going early in the morning as you and nature will be the only ones there. Get to the top to enjoy the views of Mt Fuji on a clear day and take the open chair lift down for a unique and picturesque experience.

A offbeat hike in Tokyo. The journey through the suburbs to Mount Takao is very scening and this is a great spot considering access from the city center. There are a lot of shrines and various trails with the encompassing views. The access to the trails are via cable car or open chair, the open chair being more enthralling and adrenaline rushing.

My friend and I embarked on an incredible hiking adventure, starting from the base of the mountain and ascending all the way to its summit. This journey proved to be an absolute gem, undoubtedly one of the most memorable hikes of my life. The vistas along the way were absolutely breathtaking, offering expansive views of the majestic mountain landscape and the sprawling metropolis of Tokyo below. As we reached the pinnacle, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a fantastic restaurant perched at the summit. It was an unexpected treat that added a touch of luxury to our outdoor escapade. On the descent, we meandered through a myriad of enchanting shrines, each one a testament to Tokyo's rich cultural heritage. I wholeheartedly recommend this hike to anyone visiting Tokyo. It's a must-do experience that combines natural beauty, cultural exploration, and a delightful culinary surprise at the mountain's zenith.

Trail 1 is fancy for all ages. There are lots of attractions, foods and snacks on the trail. Trail 6 is a bit dangerous. Only recommend to with someone who has experience (not need profession).

Mount Takao, used as a sacred site for over 1000 years, is 599 meters tall and especially popular among couples, families, and the elderly. For those who want to shorten the journey, there is a cable car available. It is located about an hour away by train from Shinjuku Station. Along the path to the summit, there is a Buddhist temple and numerous food and rest areas. If you take the Keiō Line Semi Special Express from Shinjuku to Takaosanguchi, you can reach Takaosanguchi station directly without transferring at Kitano.

A really enjoyable walk, the chair lift is also a good time if you don't want to walk the whole way. Very enjoyable in winter and a nice get away from the very noisy and busy city. On a nice day you can even see Fuji!

Fantastic view at the top and quite the experience to get there. Easy hike, recommend for anyone with a love for the outdoors, plus you get to see My. Fuji at the top ;)

Great day trip from Tokyo. Around 2 hours each way from Yokohama & back. Taking Trail 1 takes between 90mins to 2 hours depending on athleticism. Final view of My Fuji at the summit well worth the hike. Best time of the year to go is Winter where the weather likely allows for Mt Fuji to be visible. Other trails can be more difficult as the paths would not be paved

Enjoyable, family friendly, paved road availablity hiking road but not to easily underestimated due to its length. 🚶‍♂️ walking distance from end of chair lift to top of Mt. Takao around 4 KM one way (included stair). 🍲 There are many stall selling hot meal and drinks. 💴 Payment is only for chair lift or train. Return price is JPY900. 🗻 Mt Fuji view is at the top viewing deck, at early stage you got Tokyo City view.

Date of visit: Jan 4 2024. It is a 30 min walk from the Yamazaki station. It is mostly a flat walk. You can visit the falls upto the bridge or see it from above by climbing the staircase of 226 steps. There is a cafe right at the entrance to the falls. There was one restaurant on the way close to the station as well. Good day trip from Tokyo. If you are into aquariums you could consider visiting the last station of the Gotunda line as well.

Very nice place. But it's completely absurd to build a large metallic structure to access a viewpoint instead of making it a simple path on the ground, or even better repairing the existing walkway and bridges.

Located near the head of the Tanzawa River, this waterfall is part of Saishō-ji, a Buddhist temple that is located nearby. The waterfall is only a 5-minute walk from the parking area provided for tourists located shortly downstream. The falls are used by the clergy and monks of the nearby Saisho-ji Temple, and is also a holy site for Japanese mountain ascetic hermits. Members of both traditions stand directly under the fall and endure the water striking the head and upper body during a purification ceremony. Unfortunately, super typhoon, Typhoon Hagibis, wreaked havoc on this area (as well as the rest of Japan) back in October 2019. I reached this location about an hour before sunset after a 4-hour drive. If the evening sun ever shines through the forest canopy, I was too late to witness it. Due to the encroaching darkness, all of the shots were taken with long exposures to capture as much light as possible. I feel that the large boulders were a bit overwhelming in my composition. Maybe if there was more water volume, or maybe if I had come before the typhoon there would be less rock visible. Although these shots are not very good and seem more cluttered than I'd like, being alone with my dog at this location was definitely worth the time and effort to get here.

Hidden beauty of Yamakita 💯✔️👍it is the same as we visited this place 8 years ago , except for the newly built 226 steps to view the perfect beauty of the falls upstairs.

Shasui Falls is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of nature, and my visit to this enchanting waterfall left me in awe of its pristine beauty. The highlight of Shasui Falls is undoubtedly the waterfall itself. As the crystal-clear water rushes down the rugged rock formations, it creates a mesmerizing spectacle of nature's power and grace. The sight and sound of the cascading water instill a sense of serenity and wonder, making it a perfect place for relaxation and reflection. The accessibility of Shasui Falls is another notable feature. The well-maintained trails and viewing platforms allow visitors to enjoy different angles of the waterfall, catering to both seasoned hikers and those seeking a leisurely stroll. The journey to the falls is as enjoyable as the destination, with lush greenery and natural beauty all around. The surrounding forest adds to the allure of Shasui Falls, making it a haven for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. The park's pristine environment creates a habitat for various bird species and other wildlife, enhancing the overall experience. In summary, Shasui Falls is a tranquil and captivating natural wonder that provides a refreshing escape from the chaos of everyday life. Whether you're a nature lover, an adventurer, or simply seeking a peaceful oasis, this waterfall is a must-visit destination that offers a profound connection to the beauty and serenity of the natural world.

A beautiful high falls. Short walk on a dirt path through tall trees (cedar?) to the falls.carved animals and dragons along the path. Also smaller falls and a water fountain.

A very nice waterfall that has been improved as a visiting spot by the flight of 226 stairs up to a viewing platform that they have constructed to the side of the falls

Great place to smell nature ! Water fall , shrines, fee hotels & food stops there ! It’s a bit far from city , so better to use private transport! Best cycling trip it was ! On the way you will find my amazing spots !

(Translated by Google) I visited while climbing the Kurokura River and walking along a forest road. It took about 30 minutes from the expressway to reach the Yushin Valley parking lot, and from there it took about 3 hours to climb the mountain on foot. After passing through two pitch-black caves, you'll be exhausted from the deep-blue scenery! The fatigue was blown away. On the way home, you will have to walk quite a bit...it will be tiring, so be sure to prepare accordingly! When I changed my shoes after going down the mountain, I saw that Yamabiru was sucking blood, so don't forget to take precautions against Yamabiru! Don't go there wearing short sleeves and short pants if you feel like sightseeing! (Original) 玄倉川を沢登りしたり、林道を歩いたりしながら訪れました。 高速道路から30分程度でユーシン渓谷駐車場に到着、そこから徒歩で沢登りをして3時間程度で到着しました。 真っ暗な洞窟を2つ抜けて疲れた体に、真っ青な絶景！疲れは吹っ飛びました。 帰り道はかなり足取り重く…疲れると思いますのでちゃんと準備して行きましょう！ 下山後に靴を履き替えたら、ヤマビルが絶賛吸血中でしたので、しっかりとヤマビル対策も忘れずに！観光気分で半袖半ズボンとかで行っちゃダメですよ！

(Translated by Google) According to the Yamakita Town Tourism Association, Kurokura Forest Road will reopen on April 1, 2022. (Beyond the Kurokura No. 2 Power Plant, Route 7 - Kumaki Dam is closed to traffic.) For the latest forest road conditions, please see the forest road traffic information on the Kanagawa Prefecture website. Currently, slope collapses are occurring frequently on the Kurokura Forest Road, so please be careful when driving. *********************** This is a very beautiful valley along the Kurokura River in Tanzawa. It is approximately 9km from Kurokura Tanzawako Visitor Center to Yushin Lodge (currently closed), and the round trip is approximately 19km. It's not difficult as you just walk along a gentle forest road. However, there are slippery areas and falling rocks, so we recommend that you prepare appropriate clothing and footwear. The scenery is spectacular, so you won't feel tired even if you walk for a long time. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and hydrangeas in early summer, but the recommended season is autumn. The cool air feels good while walking. On the way back, let's sweat and refresh at Nakagawa Onsen 😁 (Original) 2022年4月1日、山北町観光協会によると玄倉林道は再開したそうです。(玄倉第二発電所の先、七号随道～熊木ダムは通行止め) 最新の林道状況については神奈川県HPの林道の通行情報をご覧下さい。 現在、玄倉林道では斜面崩落が頻繁に発生していますので通行の際は十分ご注意下さい。 *********************** 丹沢の玄倉川沿いのとても綺麗な渓谷です。 玄倉丹沢湖ビジターセンターからユーシンロッジ（現在閉鎖中）まで約9km、往復で約19kmの道のりです。 なだらかな林道を歩くだけなので難しい所はありません。しかし滑り易い所や落石があったりするのでそれなりの服装と履き物を用意する事をオススメします。 景色が素晴らしいので長く歩いても苦になりません。 春は桜、初夏は紫陽花が楽しめますが、オススメの季節はやはり秋ですね。ひんやりとした空気は歩いていて気持ちが良いです。 帰りは中川温泉で汗を流してさっぱりしましょう😁

(Translated by Google) Currently, the forest road from Kurokura is closed due to the collapse and cannot be accessed. You can take various routes to get over the mountain, but beginners should avoid it. The Kumaki dam at the far end was releasing water so I couldn't see the Yushin Blue. It was a quiet place where you could see serows and walk in the mountains with no one else around. (Original) 現在崩落で玄倉からの林道は閉鎖されて行けません。色々なルートで山越えしてならいけますが初心者は止めておいた方がよいでしょう。最奥の熊木ダムは放流してユーシンブルーは見れませんでした。カモシカも見れ誰もいない静かな山歩きが出来る場所でした。

(Translated by Google) The road was closed due to a landslide. However, the water was clean and blue in some places. Also, it's not a gentle hiking course, but rather a gentle slope, so you'll regret it if you dress like you're going to a downtown area. Also, there aren't many places to eat, so I recommend bringing at least some water. I think it's best to go in the morning and go home before evening. (Original) 土砂崩れのせいで街道が封鎖されておりました。 ただ、水は綺麗で青いところも見受けられました。 また、緩やかなハイキングコースというわけでなくゆるく坂道があるので繁華街にいくような格好でいくと後悔します。 また、食べるところがあまりないので最低でも水分は用意していくことをオススメします。 朝からいって夕方になる前には帰るのがベストかと

(Translated by Google) There is a place where you can go down to the river about 40 minutes from Kurokura Dam. There were no more tunnels that needed lights. Although it was July, the wind was cool and I walked along the path where many lilies were blooming and the sweet scent wafted through the air. There were two entrances to the mountain trail along the way. (Original) 玄倉ダムから40分くらい進んだあたり、川に降りられる場所があります。 もうライトが必要なトンネルはありませんでした。 7月でしたが風が涼しく、ユリの花がたくさん咲いていて甘い香りが漂う道を歩きます。 途中2箇所、登山道の入り口がありました。

(Translated by Google) The round trip from Kurokura bus stop to the dam takes about 4 hours, including a leisurely walk with a lunch break in between. I went out on November 12th, just as the leaves were starting to turn red. The roads are well maintained and easy to walk, so you won't get lost. It is full of water, air, greenery, sky and negative ions. You must bring your own food and drinks. Restrooms are only available at Kurokura bus stop, the starting point, so be sure to use them. (No toype!) (Original) 玄倉バス停からダムまでの往復で、お昼休憩を挟んだノロノロ歩きで約4時間。 11月12日、紅葉し始めの頃に出掛けました。 道が整備され歩きやすく、迷いません。 水、空気、緑、空とマイナスイオンでいっぱいです。 飲食物は持っていかないとありません。 お手洗いはスタート地点の玄倉バス停にしかないので澄ませておきましょう。(トイペありません！)

(Translated by Google) Yushin Blue is currently unavailable! ! I visited in April 2020. At the end of March 2020, the forest road to Yushin Valley was fully opened, so you can still go to Kumaki Dam. However, the point to be careful is that everyone, including myself, is probably looking for Ushin Blue. Unfortunately, both Kurokura and Kumaki dams were unable to store water due to a disaster several years ago and are now completely drained. Therefore, Yushin Blue cannot be seen. According to the website, water storage will start again around January 2020, so I think we'll be able to see Yushin Blue again after that. I'm looking forward to that day. I visited at the end of April because I had some free time during Golden Week and because I wanted to check the current situation. It is about an hour and a half walk from the free parking lot next to Kurokura Shoten to Kurokura Dam. It takes about 3 hours to get to Kumaki Dam. There are toilets and vending machines next to the parking lot, so make your final preparations here. The journey seems to be a series of very gentle climbs, but it doesn't feel strenuous. The road is well maintained, but there are traces of falling rocks in some places. If there is a direct hit during this year's typhoon season, I don't know what will happen again. Even if you can't see Yushin Blue, it's a good hike in terms of route and time, and the scenery is good, so I recommend it. Above all, there are not many people! ! I guess this is the most appealing thing. Even though it was during Golden Week, I only passed a few people. It's a nice and quiet place. (Original) ユーシンブルーは現在見れません！！ 令和4年4月に訪問しました。 令和4年3月末に、ユーシン渓谷への林道は、全面開通しましたので、熊木ダムへは行くことはできます。 ただ、注意なのは、私も含め、皆様の目当てはユーシンブルーではないでしょうか？ 残念ながら、玄倉、熊木の両ダムは、数年前の災害により、水を貯められず、完全放水中です。よってユーシンブルーが見られない状態です。 ホームページによれば、令和5年1月頃に、また貯水開始するようですので、その後にまた、ユーシンブルーが見れると思います。 その日を心待ちにしています。 4月末に訪れたのは、GWで時間に余裕があったのと、現状確認をしたかったからです。 玄倉商店横にある、無料駐車場から、玄倉ダムへは、徒歩約一時間半。熊木ダムへは３時間ちょい位です。 駐車場横にトイレと、自販機がありますので、最後の準備はここでね。 行程は、凄くゆるやかな登りが続く感じですが、キツくは感じません。 道は、しっかり整備されてますが、所々に、落石の痕があります。 今年の台風シーズンに直撃があれば、またどうなるかわからない感じがします。 ユーシンブルーが見れなくても、道も時間的にも丁度良いハイキングになりますし、景色も良いのでオススメです。 何より、人が少ない！！コレが1番の魅力かな。GW中にも関わらず、数人しかすれ違わなかったよ。 静かで良いところですね。

The autumn fall is beautiful.

(Translated by Google) I went to the Hakone Museum of Photography the day before to see the autumn leaves, but I felt a sense of discomfort with the artificial beauty, so I went to Lake Tanzawa. (Original) 前日に箱根美術館に紅葉を見に行きましたが、人工美に違和感が強かったので、丹沢湖に行ってみました。

Great Lake! Worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) The autumn leaves on the road that goes around the lake are spectacular. The time is late November, so if it's a weekday, I think it's a good idea to find a slightly wider area and stop along the way to take photos. (Original) 湖を周回する道路の紅葉がすばらしいです。時期は11月末、平日なら少し広いところを見つけて途中で停めて写真を撮るのも良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's quiet and not bad once you get there, but I don't think the average person would have any reason to come. There is no liveliness or charm. It's tough as a tourist destination. (Original) 来てしまえば静かで悪くないけど、普通の人はわざわざ来る理由がないだろうな。賑やかさや華がない。観光地としては厳しい。

(Translated by Google) 2023/11/03 In normal years, the leaves are turning a little more 🍁, and the leaves are red and the surroundings are also colored, but it seems like it was still early. But it's quite beautiful, I enjoyed it, and there aren't many people, so I highly recommend it. (Original) 2023/11/03 例年ならもう少し🍁紅葉が進み紅葉が赤くなり周りも色付いていますがまだ早かったようです。 でもかなり綺麗で満喫し、人も少なくオススメです。

(Translated by Google) 11/22. The autumn leaves are in full bloom. Both the maples and the figs are deeply colored. It is quieter than other autumn foliage areas. Mt. Fuji can also be seen through the gap between the mountains, adding another point. (Original) 11/22.丁度紅葉が見頃です。もみじもイチヨウも深く色づいてます。ほかの紅葉地に比べ静かです。 富士山も山間の隙間から見え、ワンポイントを加えています。

(Translated by Google) From the lakeside, you can enjoy seasonal nature such as the view of Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms in spring, and autumn leaves. Boating, cycling, fishing, and camping are also available on and around the lake. Relay races and other events are also held along the lakeshore. Lake Tanzawa is an artificial lake that appeared in 1978 with the construction of the Miho Dam, and serves an important function as a water source for the people of Kanagawa Prefecture, collecting the rich water of the Tanzawa water system. (Original) 湖畔からは富士山の眺望、春の桜、秋の紅葉など四季折々の自然が楽しめます。 湖や周辺では、ボート、サイクリング、釣り、キャンプなども楽しめます。 湖畔沿いで駅伝大会なども開催されます。 丹沢湖は昭和53年(1978)三保ダムの建設により出現した人造湖で、丹沢水系の豊かな水を集めた神奈川県民の水がめとして重要な機能を果たしています。
