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!

Hello, this is Minamoto🖐️ The temperature is gradually rising, and once the rainy season is over, summer will be in full swing☀️
During this time of year, Shosenkyo Gorge showcases the most beautiful greenery throughout the year🌿
The soft light green of spring transforms into a deep, vibrant green, nourished by ample rain and sunlight, allowing you to enjoy a landscape full of vitality☘️
Additionally, Senga Falls sees an increase in water volume, and the powerful cascade creates a natural mist💦 that rises.
It's the perfect time to feel the negative ions all around you, unique to this season✨
The area around the waterfall basin is refreshingly cool, like a natural air conditioner, making it very pleasant😃
The temperature is lower than in the urban areas, making it an ideal season for hiking, but please prepare drinks🥤 and hats🧢 as a precaution against heatstroke🙇
Moreover, areas around Senga Falls and stairs can be slippery, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes👟 when you go out‼️
Be sure to fully enjoy the "most beautiful gorge in Japan" that can only be seen during this time of year😊
If you have time, please come visit Shosenkyo✨
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you❗
