Hello 😃 This is Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Main Building. March has arrived, and Shosenkyo Gorge is slowly showing signs of spring.
It’s still a bit chilly, but the mountain trees are starting to take on a hint of green, and the landscape’s expression is softening 🌿
Shosenkyo Gorge was once known as a source of quartz, and the beautiful crystals mined here helped Yamanashi become known as the City of Gems ✨
Shosenkyo Gorge is also home to Kanazakura Shrine, which enshrines quartz as its sacred object, making it a particularly recommended spot for fans of stones and power stones 💎
It’s a mystical place where you can feel nature and history ⛩️
When you visit Shosenkyo Gorge, be sure to see Senga Falls.
The view of the waterfall up close is full of power and so photogenic you’ll want to capture it on camera 📸
When touring Shosenkyo Gorge, please stop by Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Main Building.
At this time of year, we offer wines that feel bright and springlike 🍷🌸
We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Hello, I’m Gen 😊 It’s March, and Shosenkyo Gorge is getting warmer by the day, making the arrival of spring more noticeable 🌸☘️
The sight of beautiful waterfalls cascading between sheer rock faces and the peaceful valley views will become even more appealing in the coming season 🏞️✨
Shosenkyo offers a special place to stroll slowly while feeling the power of nature, refreshing both body and mind 😊
The photo shows Amethyst 'Egao' (Smiling Mouth) 💎
This stone is notable for its shape that looks like an open, smiling mouth, and it is said to "invite good fortune and gather positive energy," making it a very auspicious natural gem 😃
At Gen’s shop, we carry many good-luck items, including impressive amethyst geodes and quartz crystals 🔮✨
When you visit Shosenkyo, please drop by Gen as well 😊
All our staff look forward to welcoming you sincerely! ✨

Hello, this is the Shosenkyo Gorge Tourism Association. Yesterday we enjoyed a clear blue sky.
The first photo is Senga Falls. Even after mid-February it still wears ice, crashing down with a thunderous roar and an overwhelmingly powerful presence. A crisp, wintry beauty unique to the season spreads across the scene.
The second photo is Kakuen Peak. Its silhouette, emblematic of Shosenkyo Gorge, looks like a sumi-e ink painting.
Please enjoy the contrast of stillness and motion that stands out in the clear air. There are vistas you can meet only in winter. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Hello. This is En'emon Folklore Museum 😃
After the recent snowfall ❄️, you can still see some snow lingering around Senga Falls ✨

Hello! This is Waraji, a Koshu local cuisine restaurant. Although February marks the arrival of spring on the calendar, Shosenkyo Gorge is wrapped in crisp, cold air and offers the clear winter scenery unique to the season❄️🌿
After a walk taking in the majestic nature formed by rocky cliffs and evergreen trees, why not rest with us for a while😊
Our recommendation is a piping-hot freshly fried tendon (tempura rice bowl)🍤
We generously use three large prawns; their crispy, fragrant batter pairs perfectly with the fluffy rice. Its impressive appearance makes it a dish you’ll want to photograph📸✨
The interior offers a calm space warmed by wood accents.
You can warm up your chilled body and enjoy a leisurely time with us over tea🍵
Shosenkyo Gorge is still quite cold, so please make sure to dress warmly before you come🧣
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you😊

Hello 😃 This is the main building of Yamanashi Wine Kingdom. This time we present “A View You Haven’t Seen Yet!” ✨
Shosenkyo Gorge has a ropeway that rises to the summit, where a panoramic spectacle unfolds on clear days. What the view looks like… come and find out for yourself 😊
You’ll also find an owl sculpture somewhere and artwork made by affixing stones together 🎨
If you look closely at this artwork, you’ll see words written on each stone. It’s fun to stroll around searching for the sculptures and art 🔍
And Valentine’s Day is coming soon 🍫
Why not toast with wine with a close friend or partner once in a while 🥂
You might discover a wonderful wine that makes a perfect gift 🎁
