Hello from the Shosenkyo Tourist Association 😊 The autumn colors at Shosenkyo are gradually giving way to signs of winter.
Rain and wind have started to strip leaves from the trees, but you can still enjoy autumn foliage around Kakuen Peak to Senga Falls for a little while longer 🍁✨
Golden leaves glowing in the sunlight, a carpet of soft fallen leaves underfoot, and the sound of the waterfall echoing through the quiet gorge…
As in the photo, what you see now is the unique beauty of late autumn.
A walk while listening to the rustle of falling leaves is a special experience available only in this season.
Please come and enjoy the remaining autumn colors 🍂🌈
