Hello everyone! 😊 This is Waraji, a local cuisine restaurant in Koshu! As we move past mid-October, the autumn colors are gradually beginning to spread in Shosenkyo Gorge. 🍁
During the day, the warm sunlight and cool breeze create a pleasant atmosphere, making it the perfect season for a stroll. ☀️
While the mountains still have plenty of greenery, you can now see trees that have started to turn red and yellow in various spots.
In particular, the trees around the fountain have begun to turn red earlier than the surroundings. 🍁✨
Although we look forward to the deepening autumn leaves, the current scenery of green mixed with autumn colors is also lovely. 😊
And speaking of autumn, it’s definitely the season of appetite! 😋
What we recommend during this season is our pride, the tempura rice bowl! 🍤
The freshly fried, crispy tempura piled high in the bowl is as impressive as Mount Fuji! 🗻✨
Not only is it visually striking, but it also has an amazing satisfying taste!
After enjoying the beautiful nature of Shosenkyo, please come to "Waraji" for a delicious meal. 🍚
Enjoy a moment that fills both your heart and stomach along with the autumn scenery. 🍂
We sincerely look forward to your visit! 😊

Hello 😊 This is Crystal Sound 💎✨ As October begins, we are enjoying pleasant weather in Shosenkyo Gorge ☀️
Autumn is a season when Shosenkyo becomes particularly vibrant with colors 🍁
It is still a bit early for the peak of the autumn foliage, but the leaves on the trees are gradually starting to change, revealing hints of yellow and red among the greenery 🌿🍂
Against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, majestic rocky mountains, and the soothing sounds of the flowing stream ✨
Taking a leisurely stroll while admiring the scenery in the gentle autumn breeze and mild temperatures is a unique way to enjoy this season 😊
Surrounded by nature, why not spend a healing moment that you can't easily experience in your daily life? 🌳
Now, when we think of October's birthstone, it's "opal" 💎🌈
The meanings of the stone are
✨ Hope
✨ Good fortune
✨ Purity
✨ Patience
The charm of opal lies in its beautiful colors that change depending on the angle from which you view it 🌈
Its brilliance, reminiscent of a rainbow captured within small gemstones, is captivating enough to make you stare in awe 😍
Please enjoy the fantastical colors of opal along with the gradually vibrant autumn foliage of Shosenkyo 🍁💎
At Crystal Sound, we offer a wide variety of captivating natural stones, including opal!
While strolling through the autumn Shosenkyo, we invite you to stop by and find your favorite natural stone ☺️
All of our staff sincerely look forward to welcoming you 🍀
🌿 A final request to everyone 🌿

Hello! I'm Minamoto. I've started to feel hints of autumn in the morning and evening breeze. Currently, Senga Falls in Shosenkyo Gorge is experiencing increased water flow, with milky water cascading fiercely down. The thunderous roar shakes the surrounding air, making conversations nearly impossible due to the powerful waterfall. It's truly a breathtaking sight that can only be seen a few times a year! When you visit Shosenkyo, be sure to come and see this view. Additionally, on September 1st of the 8th year of Reiwa, the results of the "Comprehensive Evaluation and Continuation Review for the 8th Year of Reiwa" were announced by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. This time, Shosenkyo has been designated as a "Continuing Certification" for Japan Heritage! Furthermore, it has been recognized as a "Key Support Area" due to expectations for future initiatives as a model for other regions. We aim to continue connecting the charm of Shosenkyo with the future alongside the local community. Thank you for your continued support of Japan Heritage and Mitake Shosenkyo!

💎 ~September Birthstone~
【Sapphire】
Typically represented by a deep, transparent blue, sapphires actually come in a variety of colors, including pink and orange. Each variation has its own unique beauty and charm✨
【Kunzite】
Kunzite, with its beautiful lilac pink hue, is known for its transparency.
It is often referred to as "the stone of deep love and healing," characterized by its gentle, enveloping colors💎
In the upper area of Senga Falls, there are many spots where you can forget your daily life and enjoy, such as Hachushuike, where you can toss in eight beads with your wishes.
