Hello, I'm Minamoto. Shosenkyo Gorge is growing warmer day by day, and the cherry blossom season has arrived!
Many people walking outside are already wearing short sleeves.

What I recommend this time is a one-way trekking route of about 3 km!
This season feels wonderful and is perfect for walking!

First, park your car in the prefectural parking lot and stroll along the promenade. Walk slowly while taking in the granite rock faces, strange rock formations, and the flowing river...
The whole Shosenkyo area is a power spot, with a "dragon vein" of energy flowing from Mt. Fuji that purifies your mind and body!!!

After your walk, enjoy shopping and dining in the Takinoue area and along Crystal Street.
Shosenkyo is a nature-rich spot about a 25-minute drive from JR Kofu Station, making it an easy visit from Tokyo.

If you have the time, please come to Shosenkyo to recharge your energy! We look forward to seeing you.

Today, I took a walk in Kawagoe.
