It's not just the museum. It's the whole town that has a good relaxing vibe. The exhibitions are nice and precise. The restaurant has a nice view and good foods. The museum shop has a variety of interesting souvenirs. The surrounding area of the museum is phoenomenon, mountains, stream, lavander field, rice field, etc. It's a good decision to come here instead of the Tokyo location. The Totochan square Chihiro park is also nice for book fans. You can't take photos inside the exhibition halls but outside and in the hallway it's fine.

Very very nice place. I actually stayed here about 4 hours. I had food and drink, read books, sit on comfortable chairs, walked in the garden.Chihiro's only son established here.He has very good ideas.

Beautiful architecture, beautiful scenery, beautiful artwork. The whole town and people have a nice vibe.

Quiet, cute small museum with a wonderful little park. The artwork inside is mostly children related. The interviews and watercolors of Hiroshima survivors is quite powerful. I wish they had been translated to English. The artwork outside is not extensive, but is impressive. There is even a soft serve ice cream stand in the parking lot. It was quite tasty and the very nice lady who runs the stand is also a dairy Farmer who confirmed that it is made from the fresh milk from her farm.

This is a good place for local history Buffs and fans of ちひろーさん。 It is particularly good to see the old train and the classroom kept restored for future Generations - as well as the library and actual classroom . Anybody interested in local Japanese history should enjoy this place It also has a good-sized play area for children as well as a historically based souvenir gift shop and some food and refreshments are available. Obviously I have not mentioned the art which can speak for itself and its time period And feeling or emotion.

Museum full of art from children’s books. For me, it was a little boring. But the museum itself is spacious and clean. The garden was very neat and pretty.

From a foreigners perspective, let me tell you that I got some great pictures out of the scenery here. If you don't know any Japanese, you are still able to enjoy the atmosphere, though I know a myriad of other, more exciting, places.

45m電波望遠鏡　ミリ波と呼ばれる電波を観測出来る世界最大級の口径です。アンテナ重量約700ｔ で高さ50ｍ 40年経過しても活躍を続けています。大気中の水蒸気がすくなく人工の電波が少なく山に囲まれていて都会からの電波を遮る環境が野辺山だと最適とされています。観測は冬場だけ見たいですね。広い敷地でいくつものパラボラアンテナがありその隣には説明文があり分かりやすいですが子供には?!　　駐車場、入場料は無料でトイレもあり車いすも利用出来ます、45ｍ電波望遠鏡を近くで見て凄い大きさに圧倒されました。

I went with a special authorization for a night visit. Past midnight, there is no one and the sky is full of shooting stars. The place reminded me of old sci-fi movies and that made my night really extraordinary.

(Translated by Google) I have a lot to write about this place. First of all, although there is no admission fee, there is a huge antenna that is not familiar to the general public on a vast land, and you can enjoy it just by taking a walk. And there are signs everywhere on the walking path that indicate the purpose of this facility and the huge antenna, which is also useful for learning purposes. If you are interested in astronomical science, this is the best place. I visited by myself on a sudden holiday when I had a drive. I suddenly felt déjà vu while looking around the antenna, but what is it? When I looked around, I noticed. The continuous box-shaped building and the feeling that there is no sign of people is like Georges de Chirico's "mystery and melancholy of the city". Well, it's a personal impression, and it's just like that, so I'm sure it's an objection. Anyway, the huge antenna that is not in everyday life is a powerful facility that makes the perspective go crazy, and it is an exciting facility just by looking at it. I definitely recommend it when you come to Nobeyama. (Original) この場所に関してはたくさん書きたい事があります。 まず第一に入場料が無料でありながら広大な土地に一般にはあまり馴染みのない巨大アンテナが建っており、散策するだけでも楽しめます。 そして散策路の随所にこの施設、巨大アンテナの用途などが記された看板があり学習目的にも有用。天文に興味がある方ならベストプレイスと言えましょう。 わたしは突然の休日にドライブがてらひとりで訪ねました。 アンテナを見回っているさなかふと既視感をいだいたのですが、なんだろう？と周囲を見回したところ、気がつきました。連続した箱状の建物と人の気配がない感じのがジョルジュデキリコの「街の神秘と憂鬱」っぽいな...と。 まあ、個人的な感想ですし、感覚的にそれっぽいだけなんで、異論アリアリでしょうけどね。 ともあれ、日常にない巨大アンテナは遠近を狂わせる大迫力、見ているだけでもワクワクする施設ですね。 野辺山まで来た際には是非ともオススメしたいです。

(Translated by Google) It is a facility where you can see a huge radio telescope up close. Enter your name, address, etc. at the reception desk. (Admission is free) The large facility is overwhelmed by the rows of huge radio telescopes. The millimeter-wave interferometer in the foreground has a movable structure with long rails. From here onwards, you can't proceed unless your mobile phone is in airplane mode or turned off. If you go further, you will see a huge 45m radio telescope. It is surprising to think that this huge parabola is moving during observation. There is also an area where small parabolic antennas are neatly arranged. There was also a corner where you could experience the effect of a parabola, and I was able to experience how a whispered voice could be transmitted far away, and I was able to enjoy understanding. It's a pity that the museum is currently closed due to corona measures, but if you are interested in space, please check it out! By the way, the millimeter-wave interferometer and radio heliograph seem to have finished their activities. (Original) 巨大な電波望遠鏡が間近で見られる施設です。受付で氏名、住所等の記入をして入場。（入場無料です）広い施設内は巨大な電波望遠鏡が並び圧倒されます。一番手前のミリ波干渉計は移動できる構造で長いレールが敷かれています。ここから奥は携帯電話を機内モードか電源オフにしなければ先に進めません。奥に進むとさらに巨大な45m電波望遠鏡がそびえ立っています。観測中はこの巨大なパラボラが動いていると考えると驚きます。それ以外にも小型のパラボラアンテナが整然と並んでいるエリアもあります。パラボラの効果を体験できるコーナーもあり、ささやき声が遠くまで伝わることが体験でき楽しく理解することができました。 現在コロナ対策で資料館などが閉鎖されているのが残念ですが、宇宙に興味のある方はぜひ！ ちなみにミリ波干渉計、電波ヘリオグラフは活動終了しているそうです。

(Translated by Google) Visited on a cloudy day in June. No one is at the entrance, enter the number of people and where you came from on the tablet. There are surveillance cameras here and there, but I only pass by a few people. It was hot with a little sunshine, but the cool breeze from the plateau that occasionally blows feels good. With the green mountains in the distance in the background, it's big! The space-like futuristic telescope group centered on the 45m radio telescope, which can only be described as, is worth seeing. However, I thought that the "National Institutes of Natural Sciences Nobeyama Exhibition Room" on the premises could be put a little more effort into it. I got the impression that they were just exhibiting what they were doing, and I think that researchers could present something more than children's independent research that would be more than enough to attract the interest of visitors. But if you're in the area, it's a good place to stop by. (Original) 6月の薄曇り時に訪問。入り口にはどなたもいらっしゃらず、タブレットに人数とどこから来たかを入力して入場。そこかしこに監視カメラはあるものの、数人とすれ違うのみ。 日差しも少しあり暑かったですが、時折吹く高原の涼しい風がとにかく気持ちいい。遠くに見える緑の山々を背景に、大きい！としか形容できない45m電波望遠鏡を中心とする宇宙的未来的な望遠鏡群は見る価値アリです。 ただ敷地内にある「自然科学研究機構野辺山展示室」はもう少し力を入れてよいのではと思いました。やっていることをとりあえず展示しました印象があり、研究者なら見学者の興味を十二分に惹く子供の自由研究以上のものを提示できるのでは。 でも近くに来たなら立ち寄ったほうがよい施設です。

(Translated by Google) 2023/12/10 On my way back from visiting a friend, I spotted this radio observatory in the distance and really wanted to go, so I got there in the evening after getting lost. Perhaps because it is a radio observatory, it is located in a remote location, and even though the huge parabola was visible, it was difficult to get to it straight. I don't think you'll have any problems if you set the navigation. It was already 16:30 when we arrived, and I believe the closing time was 17:00. The tour is free, but you must register the number of people. I entered the facility at the last minute, rushed around to the very back, looked at the huge observation parabola Anna, and played a radio reception game? I did that and went home in a hurry~♪ I want to go see it again. There was also a building that looked like an exhibition hall. (Original) 2023/12/10 知人を訪ねた帰りの道中にこの電波観測所を遠くに見つけ、どうしても行きたくなり、迷いながら夕刻に辿り着きました。 電波観測所だからなのか、人里離れた立地に建っており、でかいパラボラアンナが見えているのに中々まっすぐ辿りつかない場所でした。ナビをセットすれば何も迷うことはないと思いますが。 到着時刻は既に16:30で、閉所時刻は確か17：00だったでしょうか。見学は無料ですが、人数を登録するようになっていました。ギリギリ入所して一番奥まで急ぎで周り、巨大な観測パラボラアンナを眺めて、電波受信ゲーム？をして慌てて帰りました〜♪ またゆっくり見学に行きたい。 展示館みたいな建物もあったので。

(Translated by Google) The tour is free and all you have to do is enter where you are from on the terminal when you enter. The tour course is clearly posted, so you can see the size of the parabolic antenna firsthand, and take a leisurely stroll while looking at the Yatsugatake mountain range. (Original) 見学は無料で入る時に端末機でどこから来たか入力するだけです。 見学コースはわかりやすく掲示してあり、パラボラアンテナの大きさを目の当たりに出来て、八ヶ岳連峰を見ながらのんびり散策出来ます。

(Translated by Google) If the weather is nice...I think it would be a perfect view. It says you have to register at the guardhouse, but all you have to do is tap on your tablet...easy entry. Another thing that I thought was wonderful was the good manners of the visitors. I was impressed by how well they greeted each other, as if they were first class hikers. And finally, even if there is a "no smoking" policy in places like this, there is always hidden "no smoking" and littering, but in this case... there was no such thing. It's a shame that things that are obvious can't be taken for granted... but there were only sensible people here ♡ (Original) 天気さえ良ければ…完璧な景色だと想う。守衛所での受付と有りますが、タブレット”にちょんちょん“とするだけ…簡単入場。もう一つ素晴らしいと想ったのが…入場者のマナーの良さです。まるで一流のハイカーの様で、しっかり挨拶してくれるのが印象的でした。そして最後に、こう言った所って“禁煙”で有っても、必ずと言って良いほどに隠れて”禁煙“そしてポイ捨てが見られるが…こちらに関しては…一切有りませんでした。当たり前の事が、当たり前に出来ないのが残念てすが…ここは、良識者ばかりでした♡

(Translated by Google) This is a recommended spot where you can sightsee for free in Kiyosato and Nobeyama. The huge radio telescope is truly a sight to behold. The blue plateau sky, white clouds and radio telescope will be burned into your memory. (Original) 清里・野辺山の無料で観光出来るイチオシのスポットです。巨大な電波望遠鏡は圧巻の一言です。青い高原の空に白い雲と電波望遠鏡は記憶に焼き付けられる事でしょう。

(Translated by Google) We went around the free tour course of Nobeyama Radio Astronomical Observatory. If you are open for a tour, there is no need to make a reservation, and you can turn off your smartphone or put it in airplane mode. The 45m radio telescope is large, but I was surprised to learn that the position and distortion are adjusted in increments of 0.1mm or less to improve observation accuracy. In order to change the placement of the radio interferometer according to the observation target, a track was laid so that it could be moved on a trolley. In the exhibition room, there was a model that could move a 45m radio telescope, a reflector sandwiched between aluminum honeycomb and carbon, an operation panel, a supercomputer, and a high-sensitivity receiver. (Original) 野辺山の電波天文台の無料見学コースを周りました。見学可能な時間であれば予約も必要なく、スマホも電源を切るか機内モードで持ち込めます。 45m電波望遠鏡は大きいですが、観測の精度を上げるために0.1mm以下の単位で、位置や歪みを調整していることに驚きました。 電波干渉計は観測対象に合わせて配置を変更するために、台車で載せて移動できるよう線路が敷かれていました。 展示ルームには45m電波望遠鏡を動かせる模型やアルミハニカムやカーボンを挟んだ反射板、操作パネルやスパコン、高感度の受信機なども展示されていました。

(Translated by Google) I saw a 45m millimeter wave parabolic antenna for the first time since Chichijima, and it was truly gigantic! 📡It's so big that the sense of perspective is distorted. (Original) 45メートルミリ波パラボラアンテナを父島以来に見ましたが、本当にとてつもなく巨大でした！📡デカすぎて遠近感がバグります。

First snow climbing. Beautiful view on the way. Had fun walking down the narrow way surrounded by trees. Not easy but accessible, be sure to bring climbing ropes.

What a fabulous panoramic view from Akatake !!! Lucky to have a fine day and Mt Fuji could be seen from here ~

The northernmost point of Yamanashi Prefecture is located within this mountain area.

Loved the views front the top. Every pain in your muscle feels worth once you reach the top. The hike is not for complete beginner. So go with some idea in your mind that you will have to climb stairs and use chains to push yourself up from narrow and steep rocky areas. We didn't use a helmet to climb but felt the need of it as rocks slipped from our shoes also sometimes and we were worried if it's gonna hit somebody down. So better be prepared.

I want to climb this mountain..im currently residing near hear..any one can help me to climb this this coming December..i really hope somebody will help me because i really dont know how will i start..thanks

(Translated by Google) The main peak of the Yatsugatake mountain range, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains. There are many routes, including a traverse route and a direct climbing route, but all of them are fairly difficult, so you will feel a great sense of accomplishment when you reach the summit. It is a rocky area that is prone to collapse, and there is a steep slope directly below, so when descending the mountain, you must not only be careful not to fall, but also be extremely careful to prevent rockfall. The view from the top of the mountain is amazing. Mt. Fuji, Mt. Kitadake, Mt. Kaikomagatake, Mt. Senjo in the Southern Alps, Mt. Kisokomagatake, Mt. Soraki in the Central Alps, Mt. Ontake, Mt. Norikura, Mt. Yaho and other peaks in the southern part of the Northern Alps, Mt. Kobu Shindake and Mt. Mizugaki in the Okuchichibu Mountains. You can see the peaks of many famous mountains. (Original) 日本百名山の一つである八ヶ岳連峰の主峰 縦走ルートや直登ルート等、多くのルートがありますがどれもそれなりにハードなので、登頂時にはかなりの達成感があります。 崩れやすい岩綾帯であり、直下は急勾配ですので、下山時は滑落しない様に気を付けるだけでなく、落石発生防止にも細心の注意を必要とします。 山頂からの眺めは最高です。富士山、南アルプスの北岳、甲斐駒ヶ岳、仙丈岳等や、中央アルプスの木曽駒ヶ岳、空木岳等、御嶽山、乗鞍岳から槍穂等の北アルプス南部の峰々、奥秩父山系の甲武信岳、瑞牆山など、多くの有名な山の頂を眺めることが出来ます。

(Translated by Google) I took a day trip up from Yamanoko Village. As expected, it is the main peak of Yatsugatake. It was the best mountain. The mountain trail is well maintained and very beautiful. Pine resin was applied to slippery areas. However, they are exposed to the wind and rain all year round, and even if they look fine, there are some traps where one step of the stairs suddenly becomes damaged. I can't let my guard down. The helicopter was dispatched twice in the seven hours from early morning until we descended the mountain. There were many people who seemed to have very little mountain climbing experience, and there were times when they were unable to proceed halfway. A certain amount of physical strength is required. Once you pass through the forest belt, you will see nothing but spectacular views on your way there and back. It's a mountain you'll never get tired of no matter how many times you go. (Original) やまのこ村から日帰りで登りました。さすが八ヶ岳の主峰。最高の山でした。登山道は整備が行き届いていてとても綺麗です。滑りやすいところに松ヤニが塗ってあったり。ただ一年中風雨にさらされるだけあり見かけはちゃんとしていても突然階段が一段だけダメになっていたりするトラップも。油断は出来ないです。早朝から下山までの七時間ほどでヘリコプター二回出動していました。登山経験が限りなく少なそうな人たちも沢山いて途中で進めなくなっている場面も。ある程度の体力が必要です。樹林帯を抜ければ行きも帰りも絶景しか目に入りません。何度行っても飽きない山でしょう。

(Translated by Google) On August 28, 2023, I pistoned from the Yamanoko Village parking lot using the Minamisawa course and Jizo ridge. It took about 4 hours from the start to the summit, and there were steep slopes on Jizo ridge and just below the summit that would make you laugh, but I don't think it would be too dangerous if you watch your step carefully as you climb up and down. There was no view at the top of the mountain due to gas, but when I looked at Mt. Akadake after descending to the Gyōja hut, it was clear. I thought that the weather in the mountains is fickle (lol) (Original) 2023年8月28日にやまのこ村の駐車場から南沢コースと地蔵尾根を使ってピストンしました。スタートから山頂まで約４時間程で地蔵尾根や山頂直下は変な笑いが出そうな急坂でしたがきちんと足元を見ながら登り降りすれば然程危険は無いかと思います。山頂はガスガスで眺望がありませんでしたが行者小屋迄降りた後に赤岳を見ると晴れていました。山の天気は気まぐれだな…と思いました(笑)

(Translated by Google) The main peak of Yatsugatake Akadake with an altitude of 2899m There are several entrances, each of which I think there are good points There is also a mountain hut called the Summit Lodge at the top of the mountain. If you stay overnight and have good weather, you can enjoy the sunset and the sunrise. I think you can enjoy the big panorama. The summit is prone to clouds, but If the weather is perfect, you can see Mt. Fuji, the Southern Alps, the Central Alps, and the Northern Alps. Also, the ridgeline to the south from here is Enjoy walking around Quirette You can also walk along the ridgeline to the north while enjoying various mountain views. (Original) 八ヶ岳の主峰 標高2899mの赤岳 登り口はいくつかありますが、それぞれ 良さがあると思います 山頂に頂上山荘と言われる山小屋もあり 宿泊して天気に恵まれたら夕焼けやご来光が 大パノラマで楽しめると思います 雲がかかりやすい山頂ですが 絶好であれば富士山、南アルプス、中央アルプス、北アルプスまで望めるます また、ここから南への稜線は キレット歩きが楽しめて 北への稜線もさまざまな山容を楽しみながら歩けます

This weather station is a BEAST! I forgot to take any pictures up close that weren’t selfies. The highest point on Mt. Fuji, the last little climb up to the station is a bear. If you’re coming from the south, it’s a slick climb up a pretty significant gravel path to get up to the station. This was the first point in my climb that I used my poles, and the first time I though I might actually fall. Attacking from the other direction is easier, but then you still have to trek down the slippery slope if you want to make a full loop. Worth waking around when the sun is out for the extra views of the crater. Definitely nice during COVID times when you can go without crowds.

個人的見解だが、登山口の終点である富士浅間大社奥宮だけでは、富士山頂制覇とはいささか物足りなく感じるもの。そう感じる御仁たちが最高峰となる剣ヶ峰には殺到する。三角店横にある最高峰の石碑での記念撮影が人気だが、行列の待ち時間は15分から20分少々。ツアーの方やバス移動の方は事後のスケジュールとよく調整することをオススメする。またせっかく並んだのなら、石碑奥の岩場から噴火口であるお鉢を見渡す絶景も活用したい。石碑での記念撮影が不要であり、岩場のみなら行列に並ばずともOK。 (Translated by Google) From my personal point of view, it is a bit unsatisfactory to conquer the summit of Mt. People who feel this rush to Kengamine, the highest peak. Commemorative photos at the stone monument of the highest peak next to Misumi Shop are popular, but the waiting time in the line is a little over 15 to 20 minutes. If you are on a tour or traveling by bus, we recommend that you adjust the schedule well after the fact. Also, if you have lined up, you want to take advantage of the superb view overlooking the crater of Ohachi from the rocky area behind the stone monument. You don't need to take a commemorative photo at the stone monument, and you don't have to wait in line if it's just a rocky place.

If you’re going to climb Fuji, you should go to the highest peak! The views from tour of the crater are wonderful. Just around from the highest peak, shortly after sunrise, you can also see the tallest shadow in Japan. Absolutely spectacular!

剣ヶ峰！！行ってきました。言わずと知れた日本最高峰！！ お天気にも恵まれて風も微風。都会の喧騒から離れて登山中、静かで澄んだ空気が最高でした。ご来光も無事に見られ、剣ヶ峰では大きな達成感を得ることができました。 日本人なら（というわけではありませんが、）一度は登ってみたいですね！！ 今回は高校時代の友人たちとのアタックでしたが、全員無事に山頂まで辿り着けました。様々なことに、感謝しかありません！！！✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧ (Translated by Google) Kengamine! ! I went. Needless to say, Japan's highest peak! ! Blessed with the weather and the wind is a breeze. The quiet and clear air was the best while climbing away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I was able to see the sunrise safely, and I was able to get a great sense of accomplishment at Kengamine. If you're Japanese (not necessarily), you'd want to climb it at least once! ! This time it was an attack with friends from high school, but all of them made it to the top of the mountain safely. I can only thank you for various things! ! ! ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

The topmost point in Japan! Feels awesome to be here. Just look around and you’ll see everything else is below you (other than the weather station built there, of course). Enjoy the moment in time when you are among the handful people standing at the highest peak in Japan. It’s crowded by the way. If you want to take a photo at the pillar which reads “highest point in Japan 3776m” then you need to stand in a long line. I suggest to avoid it cause the line in long and you can still enjoy the moment and take other photos standing at the peak.

From Station 10, you just need 20mins to reach the peak of Mt.Fuji.🥰

So a special trail to the Fujisan; walking on the volcano rock and all the way zig-zag uphill and downhill.

The highest point in Japan and spectacular views of the huge caldera of Mt. Fuji. Surprisingly, not everyone who reaches the top comes here. It is a hard climb of 20 minutes or so after the long trail up to the top of Fuji cone. It may not be easy to convince your legs after the long ascent but your trek is incomplete without this point. Also, the best views of the caldera!

The most spectacular sunrise I've seen in my life!

Really nice view, have some snow on the top is awesome!

The soft cream is fresh and delicious. Make sure to eat it quickly as it starts melting as soon as you receive it. Proof that there are no additives!

Biggest farm around this area and they have a lot of chargeable activities and also complimentary area. You can see horses, cows, goats, rabbits and sheep. Kids can spend half day here. And you MUST go behind the farm. you can see parcial Yatsugatake view.

one of the best tourist attraction here in nobeyama..looking for family bonding like camping overnight or horseback riding and many more..

Easily accessible farm from the main road

There are so many friendly staff.

Horserides and yakiniku

(Translated by Google) This is a ranch that I always stop by when I come to Yatsugatake to avoid Golden Week. All the staff are also very kind. There happened to be a group of customers on the day, but the tractor driver was very kind to us as individuals. We received unforgettable hospitality! This is a farm that you will definitely want to visit again! The children were also very satisfied. Ice cream and pudding are exquisite ^_^ (Original) GWを避けて、八ヶ岳に遊びに来た時は必ず立ち寄る牧場です。スタッフの皆さまもとても優しいです。当日はたまたま団体のお客さんがと重なりましたが、個人の我々にもとても優しくしてくれたトラクターの運転手さん。心に残るおもてなしをして頂きました！必ずまた行きたいと思える牧場です！子供達も大満足。 アイスクリームやプリンは絶品です^_^
