Hello 😃 This is the Yamanashi Wine Kingdom main building. While Shosenkyo Gorge is of course lovely on sunny days, the scenery wrapped in the quiet of a rainy day is exceptional.
The rugged rock faces shrouded in mist create a dreamlike scene like an ink wash painting, making you feel as if you’ve stepped into another world ✨
A about a five-minute drive from the upper waterfall area brings you to the Shosenkyo Arakawa Dam. The sweeping view over Lake Nosen, formed by the dam, is breathtaking! The mountains and mist reflected on the calm lake surface compose a picture-like beauty.
Shosenkyo Gorge is now entering the heart of spring 🌸 Come and experience the season as cherry blossoms and fresh green leaves paint the landscape.

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.

Hello 😃 This is Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls shop. It was warm just a few days ago… where has spring gone?
Yesterday, snow fell in Shosenkyo Gorge, transforming the area into a winter scene ❄️
Senga Falls is also dusted with snow, creating a magical sight 🙃
This may be the last snowy landscape before true spring arrives.
Meanwhile, Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls shop has already received wines that won prizes at the spring-themed Sakura Award 🌸 wine competition!
We have wines that won the top Diamond Trophy 🏆 from Maruki Budoshu, as well as other award-winning wines ☺️
Some wines are available in limited quantities, so please stop by Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls shop when you visit Shosenkyo Gorge!

Hello 😊 This is Ryusuido. In March, Shosenkyo Gorge feels the sun grow warmer, gentle sunlight pours onto the water, and you can slowly sense spring☘️ arriving. We can’t wait for the cherry blossoms🌸 to bloom‼️
March’s birthstone is aquamarine💎
A member of the beryl family, like emeralds, its color and gem name vary according to the minerals it contains.
With its pale, gentle aqua hue, aquamarine symbolizes healing and happiness, and a legend says it brings joyful love and marriage✨
We also offer a wide selection of other natural stones and accessories, so please stop by to enjoy the soothing space where gemstones and the sound of the falls weave together.
We look forward to the day we can see your lovely smiles 😊

Hello. This is En'emon Denshōkan. As the weather swings between warm and cold, spring is slowly approaching♪ The foliage around Kaku-enpeak seems to be getting a bit greener.
March 3rd was Hinamatsuri across the country🎎 In Yamanashi, many places celebrate on April 3rd, so the festive mood of the doll festival continues for a month✨
The tradition of wishing for healthy growth has been passed down for a long time.
Aquamarine, the birthstone for March, is said to purify the heart and give hope, and its stone meaning is “filled with happiness,” so it also makes a good charm✨
Also, the rose quartz we recommend this time is a healing stone and a stone of love, and it is considered a protector of women.
We look forward to seeing your smiles🙂✨

Hello, this is Shosenkyo Crystal Sound. The cold days continue for a while yet.
At Shosenkyo Gorge you can enjoy winter-only scenery. The dramatic Sengataki Waterfall is not to be missed.
Spray from the falling water catches the sunlight and sparkles even more beautifully.
The air is clear and feels wonderfully refreshing.
Take a peaceful walk through quiet Shosenkyo Gorge.
The birthstone for February, amethyst ✨, carries meanings such as sincerity, inner peace, love, and mental stability.
Amethyst is said to calm the mind, and placing it by your pillow is believed to help with a good night’s sleep.
We also offer a wide selection of natural stones and gemstones, so please stop by.
We look forward to meeting many smiling faces 😊

Hello 😊 This is Jewelry Town. The air in Shosenkyo Gorge is crisp in winter, and on clear days you can see the sheer rock face of Kakuenzan peak in sharp detail — it’s truly dramatic!
Fewer tourists visit at this time of year, so you can relax and fully enjoy the vast natural scenery 🌳
At our shop we offer a variety of natural stones, including amethyst, the February birthstone, and rutilated quartz, which is popular for attracting financial luck 💎
Please stop by and enjoy the winter beauty of Shosenkyo Gorge ☺️

Hello 😃 This is the main building of Yamanashi Wine Kingdom. Cold days continue, but the clear air here in Shosenkyo Gorge feels refreshing.
Right now, beside the main building we are trying our hand at making “ice objects” that take advantage of this cold weather!
After exploring the famous Senga Falls and the curious “Stone Gate” along the promenade further ahead — a rock that looks like it might stick together but doesn’t — be sure to take a look at the “ice objects.”
Today we saw rainbows at both Senga Falls and the ice objects!
When you visit, please dress warmly and enjoy your time♪
