Let's protect the precious alpine plants.
Senjojiki Kar is a glacial landform (cirque, or kar) located directly beneath Hotaka-dake in the Central Alps (Kiso Mountains), straddling Komagane City and Miyada Village, Nagano Prefecture.
Situated at an altitude of 2,612 meters (8,570 feet), it showcases two extremes: a vibrant wildflower meadow in summer abundant with alpine plants, and the stark beauty of a snowy mountain in winter – a true testament to the power of nature.
Senjojiki Kar's unique bowl-shaped terrain, carved by glaciers, resembles a giant crater. In summer, the area transforms into a breathtaking sky garden, alive with blooming alpine flowers.
Numerous species, including Kinpokinbai, Chionanthus, and Hakusan-ichige, thrive here, creating a breathtaking display.
Well-maintained walking paths wind through the kar, allowing visitors to leisurely explore the alpine flora and enjoy the scenery. From the trails, you can take in a 360-degree panorama of majestic mountains, lush forests, and a brilliant blue sky.
Access to Senjojiki Kar is via the Komagatake Ropeway from Komagatake Kogen. The ropeway swiftly ascends approximately 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) in just 7 minutes, offering stunning views of the mountains outside your window – a truly heavenly journey.
Senjojiki Kar is a popular tourist destination, attracting both hikers and sightseers. In summer, the alpine flowers create a stunning sky garden; in winter, a snowy wonderland offers opportunities for skiing and snowshoeing.
Senjojiki Kar's ever-changing beauty throughout the seasons ensures that it remains an endlessly captivating destination. Come and experience the raw power of nature for yourself!
