Shosenkyo

Lovely waterfall tucked here! We took a small bus to the top of the mountain and walked down, and i really reccommend that route as it is less tiring. But you can also decide to hike! Theres a lot of tiny waterfalls along the way and the nature surrounding this area is just gorgeous!

Amazing place with mind blowing scenery.
Puts your mind at peace fr.
Highly recommend you go here once with your family.

Really nice hiking area with multiple lots of free parking. All of the main paths are paved so it is more like a walk rather than a hike. Their are also vending machines, restrooms and food stalls along the path. Best to arrive in the morning to beat most of the crowds.

Also, there is a lot of construction on the way up and down the mountain, just be prepared.

Shōsenkyō Gorge as a whole is a beautiful and serene destination, easily accessed from Kofu. We arrived at Shōsenkyō Taki Ue on the local bus (IC card accepted) and commenced our adventure, starting with the ropeway, having lunch at a local soba shop and descending on foot through the gorge itself to the Greenline Shōsenkyō bus stop. The gorge hosts amazing scenery including Senga (Sengataki) Falls and a rushing river which runs parallel to the stone walkway. There is no entry fee required here, simply follow the path until you wish to exit. The route we took is fairly easy, and being downhill would be suitable for younger children.

I went on a rainy day in mid November, which is the perfect time to go because the autumn maple leaves look amazing! The hike could have been marked better with more English assistance, but otherwise it was pretty easy. The green line bus is reasonably priced, but comes about once an hour, so be careful about your return. I would highly recommend this hike!

You can actually see this temple from Minami-ota sta. And just a minute walk on foot. There is no entrance fee. Im planning to visit here again during spring time. The smoking area has a shade and it’s under a big Wisteria tree.

Relatively unpopular nature sightseeing area. Really recommended for peak autumn season.

Shosenkyo Gorge, best place to see foliage on November. Not far from Tokyo, only 2.5 hours by Highway Bus.

A quite and beautiful place, interesting rocks and streams, around the waterfalls there are many good shops and restaurant. A worthy and relaxing experience.

Such a beautiful rock landscape plus the red leaves around you. It was a spectacular experience.

One of the most beautiful gorge in Japan, very long and very deep. There is a nice walk on the gorge!!!’

Although it's very green, land formation of this national park reminds me of Zion National Park in US.

Not that grand or entertainment-ful place, but just beautiful scenery and the wonderful easy-accessible walking paths.

Beautiful. Easy to access by car. Was able to park by the road.

Other than the tourist trap at the first parking lot as you drive up the hill, great place to hike, eat and relax.

Gorgeous nature during fall months. Beautiful waterfall with rainbow.
The main path was crowded, but anyway worthy to visit

This place is beautiful and the walk is long but refreshing and you can take it at your pace. The views are breathtaking and instills a sense of calm. You will see the colors of Fall right now and the river is running smoothly. There is a beautiful view at every turn and the waterfall is amazing. Once you get to the shops you will feel like you are in a magical place filled with gems and crystals. Enjoy it as much as I did and if sweet potatoes and grape ice cream are available, try it!

Excellent scenery and I was there perhaps a week or two after the peak autumn leaf season so not too crowded. Worth a good few hours hike, from the south, Mid or north car park. North is where the street with all the crystal stores and cable car is

It's a good place to take a short walk. Beautiful view all the seasons.

Very nice, beautiful and peaceful place
