Hello 😃 This is Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls. It's July and the heat is getting more intense—how is everyone doing?
If you go down to Senga Falls, a sightseeing spot in Shosenkyo Gorge, the negative ions and the waterfall's spray will sweep the heat away and create a refreshing coolness.
From Yamanashi Wine Kingdom you can even see directly above the falls!
There are many photo spots in the Takiue Area, so please capture a memory or two 😌
Especially popular is the giant salamander mascot!
Many guests love to take photos with it☺️
By the way, there are said to be salamanders living in Shosenkyo Gorge…?
If you meet one, it might bring you good luck!
Also, Yamanashi Wine Kingdom launched a new orange wine in July!
Made from white grapes using red wine production methods, this wine is crisp yet lets you enjoy the tannic nuance from the skins.
Please serve it well chilled 😀
We sincerely look forward to your visit ☺️

Hello, this is En'emon Folklore Museum. July has arrived and the hot days continue, but Shosenkyo Gorge still feels a little cool.
While the sea’s chill is nice for summer vacation, it’s also a great season to soothe yourself in the mountains with a forest bath, listening to birdsong and relaxing among the green.
Yamanashi has no sea, but the museum holds stones as beautiful as the ocean.
Larimar is one of the three major healing stones, symbolizing love and peace, and it’s perfect for anyone seeking comfort and healing.
Also, Shosenkyo is famous for its quartz, which used to be called a fossil of ice because it feels cool to the touch.
It looks refreshing too, so come and touch it~♪
