To take pride in the best of Japan height by which Nagano and Toyama are in a border between prefectures mostly, arch principle dome etsuryuukata dam. The middle of April when sightseeing time frame starts circles the environment in the mountains of the 3,000m order, and also feels a snow scene in a front page is wide.

Watching of remaining snow patterns (by Yuki, TA)

The charming sights which tells the north Alps of a visit in spring

The one which found the shape of the person and the animal in a contrast in a black part of white part and surface of a mountain of remaining snow and named when snow in a hillside began to melt with "remaining snow patterns". Because remaining snow patterns are seen as the shape of the butterfly, there is also something by which "Chogatake" was the history of the name of the mountain. That many remaining snow patterns appear in the north Alps slope, at the end ofApril-at the end of May. If the "seeding grandfather" who puts on a straw raincoat (of MI), puts on a lampshade and gives rise sees, I fill a rice field with water at a time to see the "plowing and irrigating the fields (do, oysters) horse" which gives rise and scratches a bed for rice plants, and if, I say that people in the base made it the rule of thumb which begins to farm.

I'll look at remaining snow patterns concerning a scenic area.

If a train is a car from a car window of JR Oito Line, remaining snow patterns are looked at from a northern Alps panoramic load near the Azumino IC. I'll wish for the north Alps and pay attention to the design of the surface of a mountain over the rice paddy I filled with water and a flower of apple.
If I know and enjoy time and the direction conversantly, every year, G.W. It's also recommended ending-that we on Saturday . Sunday of the end of May participate in the "watching of remaining snow patterns" held for about 2 days (than a high school student, 500 yen). You can go around a scenic area of remaining snow patterns in in Omachi-shi, Hakuba-mura and Azumino by bus while asking comment by "AZUMI field workshop of remaining snow patterns".

Nakatsuna lake (And, I cry.)

I hold my breath in a red big mountain cherry which suits a reflection in the water.

Kizaki-ko Lake where it's in the north in Omachi-shi and the lake ranked as "Nishina (flirting) three lake" as well as Aoki-ko Lake. At the end ofApril when it's located in about 815 m of altitude and for a short while later than an ordinary year and a cherry tree in the city-at the beginning of May, a big mountain cherry as much as about 100 makes a light red flower bloom.
The morning it's windless to want to visit by all means, and when the surface of the lake is the clear sky for which it's difficult to shake. The cherry tree with vivid color is beauty which will be to the extent it won't be including reception and a word, in a surface of the water. Even about 2 km of neighborhood and in Nishina three lake are the smallest lake, so it's possible to walk lakeside and look for the best spot.

The flower viewing cruise which looks at a cherry tree from a lake.

Nakatsuna lake is also learned about as a power spot. There is a temple as ten country temple in a ridge in a lake the past, and it's said that they have sunk in gold lake as well as bell in a belfry by some annual big earthquakes. After that the tone of the bell is heard a fine turn, and you're saying that a gold bell is seen in the bottom in a lake when I take a ship on a day of a clear sky.
Activity of the "flower viewing cruise" etc. which takes spring and a canoe by Nakatsuna lake where such legend is left and loves a cherry tree. The full-blown big mountain cherry I see from a lake is special again.

Omachi park

The north Alps of light flowers of a cherry tree and remaining snow is loved.

The calm park which is in front of the "Omachi mountain museum" where a city in Omachi is seen under the eyes. About 40 Someiyoshino cherry trees and a big mountain cherry are planted in the park, and a light pink flower will bloom at the end of ordinary year April. A highlight is a contrast of the north Alps and a cherry tree full of white remaining snow. The daytime bustles with the people who lay a picnic seat out in a lawn and enjoy flower viewing. When "town Cherry Blossom Festival" is held at the middle of April-beginning of May, and the sun sets during a period, the light is on in a hand lamp, and fantastic cherry blossoms by night can be appreciated.

Against the background of the magnificent mountain range, flower viewing, while, walk.

The Omachi-shi cemetery where it's in the south at about 5 minutes on foot from Omachi park is also learned about as the superb view spot which can get a bird's-eye view of a cherry tree and the north Alps equally. Sakuranamiki also follows the "Omachi scenic road" maintained from Omachi mountain museum to Mikkamachi on the north side. It's recommended to look at a panorama in a mountain and take a walk freely over a cherry tree only in a mountain range in the north Alps and the way where I'm going side by side. Carefully, the road width will enjoy the scenery of the spring Omachi in the narrow fry car.

Nakayama high plain

It's healed by the rape blossom in which the inclination of the hill is buried.

About 15 ha of gentle hills located in the east side of Kizaki-ko Lake. At the end ofApril-at the end of May, high plain of the altitude 900m which also became location of the TV drama is colored by a yellow carpet of a rape blossom. A refreshing view can also get a bird's-eye view of the north Alps on a fine day, and spreads. The view by which a white flower of Buckweat blooms in a front page is also fantastic at the end of summer. The autumnal tints of the autumn when I color in red and yellow also are beautiful and are the spot I'd like to visit various seasons. There is also a cafe the vegetables gathered at a private farm and dish with givier can enjoy, and it's also recommended to take a rest while enjoying a superb view.

Farm implement river (UGU GAWA) river park

Panorama in the spring the north Alps interweaves with a pink carpet

Riverbed on the farm implement river in the upper reaches in the east side in the Omachi city and a lower flower viewing (SHI MOKEMI) bridge. It's a popular spot by the moss pink which is innocent and dyes light purple and the foot aspect colorful in pink of the shade. Best time of moss pink, at the end ofApril-at the beginning of May. It's also charm that flower viewing can be set to several weeks a long period relatively from full bloom to start of scattering. A superb view in the north Alps as well as a flower are also looked at, and contrast of white of remaining snow, blue in a mountain and a river and a vivid gradation of moss pink is excellent just like a spread of picture. A flower of Siberoan iris and Belgian azalea (Western Azalea) can also be enjoyed at the end of May.

Oide (by hiding), park

The famous place for beautiful cherry blossom which makes them think of a Japanese primal scene

The private house Hime-kawa clear with the mountain range in magnificent north Alps in the background is called off and where it are a suspension bridge, a waterwheel lodge and a thatched roof and the park where the calm scenery like the Japanese primal scene spreads. The Someiyoshino cherry tree in a riverside and the big mountain cherry are in full bloom from the end of ordinary year April to the beginning of May. It's thronged with the person who takes photograph and the person who does a sketching in a cherry-blossom season. In the hill where it's abundant naturally when I walk along a gentle slope for about 5 minutes from Parking, observatory. The dynamic view for which Hakuba Mitsuyama of the 3,000m order (Shirouma-yarigatake, Shakushidake and Shiroumadake) presses immediateness is impressive. There is also a coffee shop near the observatory, and coffee can be tasted outside indoor.
