A bit chilly up there, so bring some warmer or extra outer. You can enjoy the highlights of the mountain without climbing efforts, thanks to the ropeway.

Senjōjiki Cirque is a beautiful alpine cirque located in the Kiso Mountains in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is known for its dramatic scenery, including towering cliffs, waterfalls, and alpine meadows. The cirque is also a popular destination for hiking, camping, and skiing. I recently visited Senjōjiki Cirque on a weekend, and I was very impressed. The cirque is truly a sight to behold. The cliffs are massive and the waterfalls are cascading. The alpine meadows are lush and green. However, I must warn that the cirque can be very crowded on weekends, especially during the summer months. If you are planning to visit on a weekend, I recommend arriving early in the morning to beat the crowds. Overall, I had a great experience at Senjōjiki Cirque. It is a beautiful and unique place that is definitely worth a visit.

A little known part of the Central Alps of Nagano but well worth the visit in late May and June before the crowds that apparently throng in the summer months. Fabulous panoramic views on the day we went.

An experience that won't ever be forgotten for rest of the life. Due to trani suspension, the journey to Komagane was extremely difficult but the hike next morning made everything better. Highly recommended for a hike lover!

First and foremost, don't drive a car like us. We failed to see the board as only official buses are allowed to use the road to reach here. We got some weird look by the bus drivers as the roads are narrow. Luckily the people were kind enough to let us buy the gondola ticket. Keeping that aside, really beautiful spot. Ropeway has some stunning views. We came in August and the weather was nice and cool here. You can take a longer route to the lake via the shrine or go to the back of building and reach the lake in 1 min.

It is one of the most attractive spots for tourists. I love it.

Beautiful place to visit if you get the chance. It's a bit pricey to go to the top, but the view and small 30 minute hike were worth it.

Must Visit place! We did Mount Kiso-komagatake hike from this point!

Pictures on May 18, there is a lot of snow.

A nice temple with a long sando walkway leading up to it. Along the sando look into the space between the rocks for some moss that reflects light and seems to glow in the dark.

Unique place. It is worth a visit to appreciate the architectural beauty and the peace that the environment provides.

Such a beautiful and serene temple

Beautiful and secluded.

(Translated by Google) I visited during Golden Week. I think there are many highlights such as Hayataro and Hikari moss. Daffodils don't seem to bloom until earlier in the season. The mossy atmosphere gave it a mysterious and powerful feeling. (Original) ゴールデンウィークに伺いました。 早太郎や光苔など見どころは多いと思います。 水仙の花はもっと早い時期でないと咲いていないようです。苔むした雰囲気が神秘的でパワーがある感じでした。

(Translated by Google) 2023.01.26 record Apparently, it became more famous with Yuru Camp△, and many fans come here on pilgrimages to the sacred place💡 I was able to find out about Tetsuro Degawa after it was aired on a program called ``Will you let me recharge?''♫ This was my first visit to the shrine as I always wanted to stop by when I traveled to Komagane 🙏✨ The approach to the shrine is magnificent and the stone walls are stunning! ︎ It seems that the best time to see Hikari moss is from May to October, and unfortunately it was withered in January🙃 There are many cedar trees that are hundreds of years old, and you can feel the power of life just by touching the trees for a while. I was very moved when I came across the statue of the spirit dog Hayataro 🐕✨ It was also moving to learn about the brave legend!! ︎ It is also a famous spot for cherry blossoms, and the autumn leaves are also beautiful, so it seems to be popular 🌸🍁 I would like to visit again when the season is deep green and the glowing moss is beautiful 😌 I can only be grateful for the encounter with such a wonderful power spot!! ︎!! ︎ (Original) 2023.01.26記録 どうやら、ゆるキャン△でより有名になったらしく、聖地巡礼で訪れるファンが多いみたいですね💡 私は、「出川哲朗の充電させてくれませんか？」という番組で放送されたのがきっかけで、知ることができました♫ 駒ヶ根旅をした際には必ず立ち寄ろうと思っていた為、今回が初めましての参拝🙏✨ 参道がなんとも立派で、石垣が見事な物です‼︎ 光り苔の見どころは5月〜10月辺りだそうで、1月は残念ながら冬枯れしていました🙃 樹齢数百年の杉の木がたくさん立ち並び、木にしばらく触れるだけで、生命パワーを頂けます🌲 霊犬早太郎像に出会えた時は、大変感激しました🐕✨勇敢な伝説も知ることができて、感動的でした‼︎ 桜の名所でもあり、紅葉も素敵で人気みたいですね🌸🍁 私は、深緑の時期で光り苔が美しいときに、再び訪れたいです😌 素晴らしいパワースポットとの出逢いに、感謝しかありません‼︎‼︎

(Translated by Google) I went in mid-February when there was still some snow left. When I arrived in the afternoon, there weren't many people, so I was able to take some nice photos of the approach. It said that it would take some time to get the stamp, so I left it somewhere on the way to the shrine and went to pay a visit. It was quiet, the air was clear, and it felt good. It was a bit cold though. When I got my goshuin stamp and was about to leave, I saw a lot of people walking along the approach to the shrine as the sightseeing bus arrived, so I was glad that I had come at the right time. I would like to go again when I can see the light moss. (Original) 雪もまだ少し残る2月中旬に行きました。 昼過ぎに着いた時は人も多くなくて参道の素敵な写真が撮れました。 ご朱印は時間かかるみたいに書かれてたので、参道の途中のとこに預けて、お詣りに行きました。 静かで空気も澄んでいて気持ちよかったです。ちょっと寒かったけど。 御朱印をもらって帰る時、観光バスが到着してたくさんの人が参道を歩いていたので、いいタイミングで来れて良かったと思いました。 また光苔が見れる時期に行きたいです。

Due to Sunday the factory was not working,but we could watch some videos following by the process. The medical liquors can buy at the shop in the factory. Also there is a cafeteria and retail place near the parking area, not only medical liquors but also local wine and sake there.

(Translated by Google) I dropped in. Enter the main gate and go to the parking lot. Unfortunately, the factory tour was not possible this time because it was a reservation system. Isn't there a cancellation at the reception on the second floor even if it doesn't work? If you are lucky to hear it, you can visit it. The shop is open so you can go in and buy souvenirs. There is also a cafe and the menu is small, but you can also eat lunch. It was good that there were quite a lot of types of shops. Next time, I would definitely like to visit the factory. (Original) ふらっと寄ってみました。メインのゲートを入ってまずは駐車場へ。 工場見学は予約制で残念ながら今回は出来ませんでした。ダメでも二階にある受付にキャンセル無いか？聞いて運が良ければ見学できるそうです。 売店はやっているので入ってお土産は買えます。 カフェもありメニューが少ないですがランチも食べれます。 売店はかなり多くの種類があり良かった。 次回は是非工場見学したいと思います。

Center place ,very nice view ,very clean , because l love it this place....

(Translated by Google) I went to the factory tour in a hurry, but I entered it 😊 I can enter it for free if there is a reservation ☺️ I got a souvenir after the factory tour 😊 Factory tour, video, easy-to-understand explanation 👍 (Original) 工場見学急遽行きましたが入れました😊予約の空きがあれば無料で入れます☺️工場見学後手土産を頂きました😊工場見学、映像、わかりやすい説明とても良かったです👍

(Translated by Google) You can see the manufacturing process of Yomeishu. You can rest assured that the infection control is perfect. The grounds are full of greenery and you can enjoy forest bathing. Mirin and Yomeishu can also be purchased at the attached shop. You can use PAYPAY. On the way back, you can get a souvenir and it is perfect for an adult social tour. (Original) 養命酒製造工程がわかります。感染対策も万全で安心できます。敷地も緑があふれ森林浴ができます。併設の売店でも味淋や養命酒を購入出来ます。PAYPAY使えます。帰りにはお土産も貰え大人の社会見学にうってつけです。

(Translated by Google) ◎The Yomeishu factory is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so I wasn't able to tour the factory zone where the production process takes place... Instead, I watched a short video next to the souvenir corner on the 2nd floor. ✨️A factory with a spacious site of 360,000 square meters, surrounded by nature and with a beautiful view of the Alps. ◎ Open from 9:30 to 16:30 (Last entry is 3:30 pm) No reservation required, free 🆓 ◎In addition to Yomeishu, the shop also carries other products such as mirin and vinegar. ◎Of course I was able to sample it. (Original) ◎養命酒の工場は土日お休みなので生産過程のファクトリーゾーンでの工場見学はできませんでしたが… 代わりに　2Fおみやげコーナーのよこで短い動画鑑賞をしました。 ✨️大自然に囲まれ、 アルプス山脈がきれいに見える、36万平方メートルに及ぶ広～い敷地を持つ工場 ◎ 9時半から16時半まで営業 （最終入場は15時30分） 予約不要、無料🆓 ◎ショップには養命酒以外のみりん、お酢などの商品もあります。 ◎もちろん試飲もできました。

(Translated by Google) You can trace the history of Yomeishu, but it is surprising that Yomeishu has been around for so long. Currently, it is only made in Komagane. During the factory tour, you can sample the beer at the shop inside the factory, but since the alcohol content is 15%, it is best to refrain from driving. Also, on the premises there is a building called Kurasuwa with a shop and cafe attached. You can buy various souvenirs here, and the soft serve ice cream sold at the cafe was sticky, heavy, and delicious. (Original) 養命酒の歴史が辿れますが、こんなにも昔から養命酒があったことに驚きです。　現在は、この駒ヶ根でしか作られていません。　工場見学の時、工場内のショップで試飲ができますが、アルコール度数が15度あるので、車を運転する方は控えた方が良いでしょう。　そして、敷地内には、くらすわというショップとカフェが併設された建物があります。　ここでは、色々なお土産が購入出来ますし、カフェで売られているソフトクリームは、ねっとりして、重量感があって美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The factory is right outside Komagatake Smart IC. It's not what I was aiming for, but most Japanese people probably know the name Yomeishu, and if you've lived a long time, you've probably heard it at least once, so I'm interested. I was drawn to this place and visited. There were a lot of things I didn't know about, such as the history and product lineup, but the factory's location is rich in nature, and just drinking the water from the stream that runs through the factory seems to be good for your health. I took a break for a while with bread as a snack at the cafe next door and was able to relax in place of the expressway parking area. (Original) 駒ヶ岳スマートICから出てすぐの工場です。目指してきた訳ではないのですが、おそらく日本人なら養命酒と言えば大抵の人は知っている名前だし、長く生きてれば1度は口にしたこともありそうなものなので、興味を惹かれて訪問。歴史や品揃えなど知らないことばかりでしたが、何といっても工場のロケーションがかなり自然豊かで場内を流れる小川の水だけでも健康になれそう。隣のカフェでパンをおやつにしばし休憩して高速のパークングエリア代わりにリラックスできました。

(Translated by Google) Since I went on a Sunday, the equipment was not working, but I was able to tour the factory. First, you enter the theater and learn about the history and location of Yomeishu, then learn how to make it, tour the facilities, and go to the shop. Everything was well thought out and I found it interesting to learn. I had been drinking it before, but my understanding of it deepened, which gave me the motivation to continue drinking it. It is located in a scenic location and gives the impression that it is made in a good location. The shop sells a variety of items, including some surprising items. This is a recommended place for both those who know about Yomeishu and those who don't. Some navigation systems direct you from Komagane IC, but Komagatake SIC is definitely better. (Original) 日曜に行ったため設備は停止していましたが工場見学は出来ました まずシアターに入って養命酒の歴史や立地について学んでから作り方を学んで設備見学、ショップという流れです どれも工夫されていて面白く学べました 前から飲んでいましたが理解が深まって続ける気力につながりました 風光明媚な場所にあり、良いところで作られているという印象です ショップでは色々販売していて意外な商品も売られています 養命酒を知っている人も知らない人にもお勧めな場所です 一部ナビでは駒ヶ根ICからの案内になってますが駒ヶ岳SICの方が絶対いいです

(Translated by Google) You can tour the Yomeishu manufacturing process. You can also do some shopping and tasting. This time the factory was closed and not in operation. I thought it would be more fun when it was actually in operation. (Original) 養命酒の製造工程などの見学ができます。あと、お買い物や試飲もさせて頂けます。今回は工場がお休みで稼働していませんでした。実際に稼働している時の方が楽しいかと思いました。

(Translated by Google) It was raining, so I went on a factory tour. I was impressed by how carefully managed Yomeishu was made. The tour will take about an hour if you look carefully. If it's appropriate, 10 minutes is fine. At the place we tour, we have a Yomeishu tasting. Since it is alcoholic, those driving can sample the juice. When you buy Yomeishu, an eco bag comes with it. Factory original stationery was also on sale. A separate building sold souvenirs, wine, rare sweets, and bread. If the weather is bad or you are having trouble deciding where to go, please go and check it out. (Original) 雨が降っていたので、工場見学に行きました。養命酒がしっかり管理して作られている事に感動しました。見学はしっかり見ると1時間はかかります。適当だと10分位でも大丈夫です。見学する所で養命酒の試飲をやってます。お酒なので、運転する人はジュースを試飲出来ます。養命酒を買うとエコバッグが付いてきました。工場オリジナルの文具なども売ってました。別の建物でお土産やワイン、珍しいお菓子、またパンなど売ってました。天気が悪い時や行く場所に悩んだら是非行って見て下さい。

(Translated by Google) The factory was located in a place with an extremely rich natural environment. Maybe it was because there was a Halloween event going on outside, or because I visited around 12:00. At first it was reserved even though it was Sunday. The tour was quite fulfilling as there were exhibits, there was a place where you could see the factory lines, there was an explanation VTR on the spot, and there was also a theater. I think it's great because it's free (^^) (Original) 非常に自然豊な場所にある工場でした。 ちょうど外の方でハロウィンイベントをやっていたり、12時台の訪問だったからか 日曜日なのに最初は貸切状態でした。 見学は展示あり、工場のラインを見れる場所あり、その場には説明VTRあり、シアターもありでかなり充実したものでした これが無料なので素晴らしいと思います(^^)

(Translated by Google) I visited at the beginning of November. It is a very beautiful place with the mountains covered in autumn leaves. Kurasuwa Forest is being constructed for the fall of 2024, and there is an area inside the factory, but it was a nice place to just take a short walk around the area. I was watching the Yomeishu manufacturing process here and ended up buying two bottles of Yomeishu♪ I would like to take my time at home to stay nourished and tonic 😊 (Original) 11月の最初に訪れました。 山々が紅葉に包まれて、とても美しいところにあります。 2024年秋に向けてのくらすわの森建設で、工場中エリアもありますが、付近を少し散策するだけでもよいところでした。 こちらで養命酒製造の工程を見ていたら、養命酒を2本も買ってしまいました♪ 家でじっくり滋養強壮に努めたいと思います😊

(Translated by Google) Surrounded by forest at the foot of the Central Alps Komagane factory. For souvenirs, we recommend Mirin, which is made from 100% sticky rice and is made from Yomeishu's original sake. It can only be purchased at the Komagane factory. . (Original) 中央アルプスの麓にあり森林に囲まれた 駒ヶ根工場です。 お土産には必ず、養命酒の原酒でもち米100%の「みりん」をお勧めします。 駒ヶ根工場でしか買えません。。

(Translated by Google) As a heavy Yomeishu user, this is Disneyland for me. Clean buildings and facilities on beautiful grounds. Although the factory was not in operation as it was a holiday, I learned a lot from watching the videos and touring the equipment. I especially enjoyed the Yomeishu trivia because the questions were well-written. There is a Yomeishu shop, a local specialty souvenir shop, a garden where you can stroll in the shade, and a cafe where you can grab a snack, so you can relax. (Original) 養命酒のヘビーユーザーの私にとってのディズニーランド。 綺麗な敷地に清潔な建物、設備。 休みで工場は稼働していませんでしたが、映像や設備見学は勉強になりました。 特に養命酒トリビアは質問が上手に作ってあって非常に楽しかったです。 養命酒ショップや地域特産のお土産屋、日陰を散策出来る庭、軽食がとれるカフェもあってゆっくり出来ます。

There are also lots of food and souvenirs to buy. There is a dine in restaurant and a food court style restaurant as well. The food is pretty standard for service areas and prices can range from 680 to 1080 yen at the food court. Outdoor seating is also available which is nice for warmer days. This service area has an Eneos gas station. Lastly, there is also a dog park! Good place to stop during a long road trip.

Busy because of Obon holiday but a large services with good selection of good quality, fast food in the food court.

Pretty standard place to hit a restroom, dump garbage, and grab a foodcourt meal.

Very fantastic , nice view, very clean,

So good

💓💓

Good

A very interesting museum with nice staff. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the limited English explanation. If you're Japanese is better than mine and your interested in the making of silk, it's definitely worth a visit.

Komagane Silk Museum provides a brief, but interesting look at the local silk industry as well as giving some background information on silkworms and the silkroute's history. It's very small, but the cheap price of admission, a chance to make small knick knacks, and a beautiful view of the valley make this a worthwhile stop if you're in the vicinity.

They had a workshop and we made a small boar with small pieces of silk

I learned here, how a small village firm became a global brand!!

(Translated by Google) The museum itself is a museum of old industry. There is a cocoon ball art workshop here. The results of the daily research conducted by the instructors will be displayed as wonderful works of art, and you will be able to experience a part of them. Additionally, there is a popular buffet restaurant called ``Restaurant Nana-chan'' that uses local ingredients. (Original) ミュージアム自体は古き時代の産業の資料館です。 ここには繭玉アートのワークショップがあります。 講師さんたちの日々の研究成果が素晴らしい作品となって展示され、その一端を体験できます。 さらにここには、地元食材を活用したバイキングの人気店『レストラン菜々ちゃん』が入っていますよ。

(Translated by Google) Buffet restaurant “Nana-chan” attached to Komagane Silk Museum I've been visiting from time to time for over 10 years. The menu and the balance of flavors are absolutely delicious 😋🍴💕 It's about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Fujimi, but it's still worth going. (Original) 駒ヶ根シルクミュージアムに併設したバイキングレストラン『菜々ちゃん』 10年以上前から時々伺って居ます。 メニューと言い、味のバランスと言い最高に美味しいです😋🍴💕 富士見から約1時間20分、それでも行く価値は有ります。

(Translated by Google) It was 300 yen for adults and 100 yen for children. It was rare and good. The staff were also very kind. (Original) 大人300円子供100円でした。 珍しくて良かったです。 スタッフの方もとても優しくしていただきました。

菅の台バスセンターから、バスでくねくねの山道を30分、駒ヶ岳ロープウェイのしらび平駅に到着しました。 駅前は広々とした場所で、回送のバスが何台も停まっていました。 ロープウェイ乗り場は混雑していて、並んでいる間に次のバスが到着し、並びの列がどんどん伸びていました。 普段は30分間隔で運行されるロープウェイですが、今日は臨時便が増発されていたため30分位の待ちで乗車できました。 ロープウェイは、満員状態で約７分高低差950mをかけ登って行きました。 乗った場所にもよりますが、たまたま窓際だったので雄大な景色を楽しむことができました。 (Translated by Google) After 30 minutes by bus from Suganodai Bus Center, we arrived at Shirabidaira Station on the Komagatake Ropeway. The area in front of the station was spacious, and many forwarding buses were parked there. The ropeway platform was crowded, and the next bus arrived while we were lined up, and the line was getting longer and longer. The ropeway usually runs every 30 minutes, but today there were extra flights, so I waited about 30 minutes to get on. The ropeway climbed over a height difference of 950m for about 7 minutes when it was full. It depends on where you got on, but I happened to be by the window, so I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery.

Komagatake Ropeway is a ropeway station located in Shirakaba, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is the departure station for the Komagatake Ropeway, which is a cable car that takes passengers to the top of Mount Komagatake, one of the highest peaks in the Japanese Alps. The ropeway station is located in a beautiful mountain setting, and it offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The station is also home to a number of amenities, including a restaurant, a gift shop, and a viewing platform. I recently visited Komagatake Ropeway Shirabidaira Station, and I was very impressed. The station is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the views from the viewing platform, and I also enjoyed the food at the restaurant. Overall, I had a great experience at Komagatake Ropeway Shirabidaira Station. It is a great place to start your journey to the top of Mount Komagatake, and it is also a nice place to relax and enjoy the mountain scenery.

昨日までの大雨が嘘の様に快晴！！千畳敷カールは殆ど雪は消え花々が咲き始めました。17名のツアー少人数団体は動き易くていいな。路線バスを下車ししらび平駅1階に並びます、往復乗車券を配布、臨時便を出すそうなので乗車しゴンドラ発車一気に千畳敷駅到着7分半の空中散歩です、駅を出ると新装成ったウッドデッキ上で周り方を説明し解散自由行動開始、駒ヶ根名物ソースカツ丼弁当食べる方散策に出掛ける方自分も一緒に出掛けました。ゆっくり回っても1時間有れば充分開花し始めた花々を撮影、今日は南アルプス越しに富士山の頭がちょこんと見えたよ。但し遊歩道側は岩が多く砂でザラつき滑り易く注意しましょう、岩を積重ねた階段も有るしね。コイワカガミ、ミヤマキンバイ、ハクサンイチゲ、シナノキンバイが咲いていましたよ。あと半月すれば最も咲くでしょう。 (Translated by Google) The heavy rain until yesterday was sunny like a lie! ! At Senjojiki Cirque, most of the snow has disappeared and the flowers have started to bloom. A small tour group of 17 people is easy to move around. Get off the bus and line up on the 1st floor of Shirabidaira Station. A round-trip ticket will be distributed. On the wooden deck, I explained how to get around and started free activities. Even if you go around slowly, you can take pictures of flowers that have started to bloom enough in one hour, and today I could see the head of Mt. However, there are many rocks on the promenade side, and the sand is rough and slippery, so be careful. Koiwakagami, Miyama agarita, Hakusan Ichige, and Shinano agarita were in bloom. It will bloom most in half a month.

Superb ride, the views from the front of the gondola (going up) were incredible. Highly recommend as an experience in itself.

Best nature and best natural trips Heavens thanking God

2023/7/10 夏の千畳敷カールは、山野草の宝庫。 黒百合が見頃でした。 あいにくの曇り空で、山頂を望むことは叶いませんでした。気温は13.8度と、半袖シャツ一枚だと、気持ち肌寒いくらいの気温。天候が変わりやすいので、上着は一枚準備しておくと良いかもしれません。 千畳敷カール内を周遊くらいならば、スニーカーでも十分ですが、足に自信の無い方はストックがあった方が便利です。歩道はある程度整備されていますが、アップダウンもあります。 (Translated by Google) 2023/7/10 Senjojiki Cirque in summer is a treasure trove of wild grasses. The black lilies were in full bloom. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and we could not see the summit. The temperature was 13.8 degrees Celsius, which made me feel chilly with just a short-sleeved shirt. The weather can change easily, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket. Sneakers are enough for walking around Senjojiki Cirque, but stocks are more convenient for those who are not confident in their feet. The sidewalk is maintained to some extent, but there are also ups and downs.

Reliable ropeway. On schedule. Well maintained. Nothing fancy but safe. Exactly what you want when you go out hiking. While on the gondola, take off your backpack.

I went during obon yasumi, so there were many hikers waiting to ride, but it was very efficient. The view is spectacular, but only if you manage to get a standing spot by the windows.

You can get to the highest station in Japan with casual clothes at the beginning of Autumn.

Very nice place. Amazing

nice view. Regarding all staff members— Bus, Ropeway … - somehow not friendly (no „thank you“, no „greeting / welcome“, guess we are all just money to them.

It’s so nice to see
