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.

Hello everyone, this is the Shosenkyo Tourist Association. The autumn foliage has deepened notably over the past few days, and the colors are looking better.
Yesterday the weather was clear for the first time in a while, with a wide blue sky. The contrast between the colorful mountains visible behind and around Crystal Fountain and the clear blue sky was beautiful!
The peak viewing seems likely to continue through the weekend of the 23rd and 24th. You might even be able to see the autumn leaves through the end of this month.
*The photos were taken on November 17, 2024.*

Good morning! 😆 This is Shosencat, the mascot of the Shosenkyo Tourist Association, with an update on the current autumn leaves. The photos were taken yesterday, Saturday, November 16. The fall colors seem about one week to ten days behind schedule. 😲 You might be able to see the leaves through around November 23–24. 🤔 If the weather cooperates and the maples hold up, the colors could last beyond that. 😲
I’ll let you know again! We’ll be waiting for you at Shosenkyo!!

I’m headed to Shosenkyo Gorge to see the autumn leaves! The foliage is just about to reach its most beautiful colors now.
This is an announcement from Shosenkyo Tourism Association’s mascot, Shosencat.✨
Shosenkyo is getting cooler and the leaves are starting to turn more vividly. Because it was warm this year, the color change was slow, but the leaves look like they’ll finally turn red. I’m sending photos I took today for your reference!
Weekends and holidays are likely to be crowded. If you’re coming by car, arrive early to secure parking. Park in the municipal or prefectural lots, or in the lots being offered free of charge. If you use a shop’s parking lot, be sure to check the usage conditions first.
See you soon at Shosenkyo! 🍁 The Shosenkyo photo contest is also underway—take great pictures and enter!

Hello everyone, this is the Shosenkyo Gorge Tourism Association. Today was mostly cloudy and a bit gloomy. When the sun doesn’t come out, the temperature drops noticeably, so please take care to manage your health.
The area around Kaku-en Peak is starting to show patches of autumn color. It’s still early, so the best viewing should come in early to mid-November—something to look forward to!
During the Crystal Mikoshi on November 10th, the autumn leaves might just be at their peak.

Hello everyone, I’m Ozaki from Nagashi Somen En'emon.
The trees around the fountain have turned vivid colors, and the mountains of Shosenkyo Gorge are just beginning to change.
I’m looking forward to seeing how the autumn foliage develops!
It’s getting colder little by little, so warm up with a steaming bowl of hot houtou.
