• Senjojiki Cirque
  Senjojiki Cirque lies beneath Mount Hōken in the Central Japanese Alps and features a dramatic glacial landscape formed around 20,000 years ago during the Ice Age. It is part of the Kiso-Komagatake area, which is recognized as one of Japan’s “100 Famous Mountains” and “100 Flower Mountains,” and has been designated a Quasi-National Park. The area is stunning in all seasons, from vibrant alpine blooms in summer to snow-covered slopes in winter. The Komagatake Ropeway offers a breathtaking ride from Shirabidaira Station (1,662 m) to Senjojiki Station (2,612 m), making it Japan’s highest ropeway station with a vertical elevation difference of 950 meters—the largest in the country. Upon arrival, visitors are treated to spectacular mountain scenery and the pure air of the highlands.
  
• Magome-juku
  Magome-juku is a historic post town along the Nakasendo Trail, located on the border of Nagano and Gifu Prefectures. Once a vital stop between Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period (1603–1868), it is now preserved as a cultural heritage site showcasing traditional Japanese village charm. Set along a scenic hillside, Magome-juku retains its original stone-paved streets and wooden buildings. Visitors can enjoy local specialties, explore historical houses, and take in panoramic mountain views. A highly recommended activity is hiking the 4-kilometer trail between Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku—another well-preserved post town. The walk, which takes about two hours, leads through lush forests, streams, and old tea houses, offering a perfect blend of nature and history for all types of travelers.
