[Yamanashi Prefecture] Japan's most beautiful valley, "Shosenkyo"

We are heading to Shosenkyo, one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Yamanashi Prefecture and the most beautiful valley in Japan 🏞️ This place is a special national scenic spot and has been certified as a Japanese Heritage Site. The scenery is filled with strange rocks and strange stones, and refreshing clear streams, and you can feel the rich nature of the four seasons to the core of your body as you stroll along the promenade ✌️ It is no exaggeration to say that Kakuen Peak, which is the best attraction in Shosenkyo, was named after the monk Kakuen, who once practiced at the top, which is the size of several tatami mats 🥸 The exposed rock surface was so impressive that it seemed like fossils were buried there 😳 And then there is Senga Falls, the symbol of Shosenkyo. Located at the very back of Shosenkyo, and selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan, you can see the impressive sight of a 30m waterfall falling in one go. The air was clear, and as I approached the waterfall along the promenade, I felt comfortable as I was surrounded by negative ions 😌 It was truly a natural formation that shone in the clear stream! *Nearby was Hotei, a power spot with many wish slips attached to it. There was also a sign that said, "Hotei's wishes are limited to three times," and it is said that if you write three wishes you want to come true on a wish slip and attach it to Hotei, your wish will come true... There were so many wish slips attached that you could hardly see anything below the neck... 😅 It was a place that felt like a power spot in full swing. Finally, we took the Shosenkyo Ropeway to the top of the mountain 🚡 From the top of the mountain, you can see Mt. Fuji, Mt. Kitadake, and Mt. Ainodake, and you can see a spectacular panoramic view! It's truly a natural 100-view view 🏔️ *There were several power spots scattered around the top of the mountain, including the "Dragon Pine" that twists and turns like a dragon! One of Yamanashi's most scenic spots where you can feel the power of nature with your whole body!
