Hello 😊 This is Ryusuido. The rock walls around Senga Falls and Hachiju Pond in Shosenkyo Gorge have become glazed with frozen droplets, creating a winter-only landscape.
When the sunlight hits, they glitter and sparkle beautifully!
Garnet, the birthstone for January 💎, symbolizes friendship, passion, and fruition.
Also known as the “stone of victory,” it is famed for helping efforts bear fruit and guiding people to success.
We recommend it to anyone working hard at exams, job hunting, sports, or similar challenges.‼️
We also carry a variety of other natural stones and accessories, so please stop by to enjoy a soothing space where gemstones and the sound of the falls intertwine.
We look forward to the day we can see your wonderful smiles 😊

In winter, Senga Falls combines a powerful torrent with frozen rock walls at its sides, turning the scene into what feels like a sculpture carved by nature. The roar of the waterfall and the surrounding hush intersect to create vistas that look straight out of an ink painting. 🖤🎨 The black-and-white winter palette offers a special atmosphere you can’t find in other seasons. Bring your camera and come experience this one-of-a-kind view in person 📸✨

Happy New Year 🎍 This is En'emon Denshokan.
In the crisp winter air, Kanazakura Shrine, which sits at the top of Shosenkyo Gorge, drew many worshippers again this year for its reputation of bringing good financial fortune!
With a week into the New Year gone, you might find a bit more time to visit and pray at a more relaxed pace 😊
This year is the Year of the Snake, and besides “improving financial luck,” it is also said to mean “seizing happiness” and “being reborn as a new self.” ✨
People also say that carrying an item related to the year’s zodiac brings better luck.
At En'emon Denshokan we have snake-motif items available, so on your way back from visiting the shrine, please enjoy the scenery of Shosenkyo Gorge and stop by En'emon Denshokan.
We keep the shop warm and look forward to your visit 😊

Happy New Year 😄 This is Washaji, a local Kosh u dish.
This year’s zodiac sign is the Snake 🐍 People believe carrying a snakeskin wallet or keeping a snake’s shed skin in your wallet brings better luck with money, and the white snake is especially thought to be auspicious for financial fortune.
In this Year of the Snake, which is linked to good fortune, visiting Kanazakura Shrine for the first shrine visit of the year seems likely to boost your money luck even more!
Our top recommendation is, without a doubt, unajuu (grilled eel over rice)! The unajuu made by our experienced chefs is truly delicious.
If you enjoy fresh eel from the New Year onward, you’ll have plenty of stamina for the year—there’s no doubt you’ll stay energetic!
Please be sure to visit our restaurant when you come to Shosenkyo Gorge.

Hello, this is Jewelry Town. December has arrived and it’s getting quite cold; winter has truly begun.
At this time of year the air is clear and the gorge looks crisper than usual.
This year’s kanji is “gold,” so inspired by gold hues I photographed a gold rutilated quartz and fluorite with an icy theme.
We’re also receiving many new rough stones, so please come visit Shosenkyo Gorge. 😊

Hello everyone! This is the Shosenkyo Tourist Association. Today brought clear skies, and the Shosenkyo Houtou Festival was held in grand fashion!
This year’s Houtou Festival was a collaborative event with Kofu Daiichi High School’s Research Course.
The a cappella club, dance club, and folk-rock club delivered wonderful performances that really energized the crowd!
In addition, the bingo tournament with luxurious prizes was a huge hit.
The five varieties of houtou on offer each had their own distinctive flair, and every one was superb!
Which houtou was your favorite?

Hello everyone, this is the Shosenkyo Tourist Association. The weather was fine again today, and we enjoyed beautiful autumn leaves along the promenade and at each scenic spot.
Especially at Takkorin, it’s safe to say the foliage is at its peak right now. Trees reach up toward the blue sky, and red leaves carpet the ground and the roofs of the rest houses, filling the view before you.
The forecast calls for sunny weather tomorrow and the day after, so please come and see the autumn colors of Shosenkyo Gorge.
