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.

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!
