The location is close to the ridgeline of the Central Alps, the bowl-shaped terrain created by glaciers is a treasure trove of alpine flora.
It is a bowl-shaped valley eroded by glaciers 20,000 years ago, stretching from Komagane City to Miyata Village in Nagano Prefecture and directly below Mt. Hokendake in the Central Alps. Many climbers and tourists from all over Japan visit the area to enjoy the dynamic changes in scenery from season to season and the magnificent views.
From Komagane Kogen plateau to "Senjojiki" station, local bus and Komagatake ropeway can be reached. A promenade is maintained within Senjojiki Karl, and a 40-minute tour around the area is possible.
It is also known as a treasure trove of alpine flora, and in summer, a variety of plants bloom all over the rocky surface of the alpine zone at elevations of over 2,500 meters. About 150 species of alpine plants, including the Trollius japonicus, and the Veratrum stamineum, which are said to bloom only once every few years, are in full bloom from mid-July to early August.
This is a spot where you can enjoy the charm of the area all year round. In spring, you can enjoy snowshoeing and skiing. In fall, you can admire the colorful autumn leaves, and in winter, you can enjoy the pure white winter scenery and star-filled sky.
Pretty alpine plants and the steep rocky surface of the mountains are reflected in the bright blue sky.

紅葉の時期に訪問しました。
駒ヶ根駅からバスでしらび平駅まで行き、駒ヶ根駅ロープウェイで登れます。景色は美しく、高山植物を見ながらの散策はとても気持ちいいです。季節によりますが、標高が高いため、駅付近より気温が低いので重ね着できるような上着を用意するといいと思います。
