Autumn at Senjojiki, where beautiful autumn colors cascade down from the mountaintop to the foothills.
It begins with the “grass autumn colors”—the subtle hues of alpine plants—and from late September through early October, you can enjoy a picturesque landscape featuring the red of Mountain ash, the yellow of Japanese White birch, the green of Japanese stone pine, and the dramatic rock faces. Around mid-October each year, the first snow typically falls in the Senjojiki Cirque. Depending on the timing, you can witness a fantastical “three-tiered autumn foliage” display featuring “snow at the summit,” “autumn colors on the mountainside,” and “green trees at the base.”
It’s a classic spot, but a must-see view!
If you turn around, you’ll see the Southern Alps—and if the weather’s clear, you can even see Mount Fuji!
This is the first waterfall you see when you take the ropeway from Shirabidaira Station. It is a spectacular tiered waterfall with a drop of 25 meters. The vibrant autumn foliage contrasted with the white waterfall creates a stunning view.
A massive waterfall that cascades down in three to four stages. With a total drop of approximately 70 meters, it is considered the largest of the waterfalls flowing beneath the ropeway.
A popular photo spot where the snow-covered Senjojiki Cirque and the mountains ablaze with autumn colors are reflected like a mirror on the surface of Lake Koigaike Pond!
The ropeway isn’t the only highlight! From the windows of the local bus, you can enjoy the autumn foliage up close as the scenery changes with the elevation.
The trees at the foot of the mountain are turning beautiful colors!
The riverside area around Komakusa Bridge is a particularly recommended walking route!
