A superb view of colored leaves is excellent! Sightseeing in the air which is a great panorama by "Tanigawadake Joch"

The Tanigawa-dake which is called "the mountain where it may be close" and is popular from the past by good of the cityscape and Direction in a beautiful mountain in Joshinetsu. Nature abundant in each season is also fond as one of Japan one hundred famous mountains, and charms a tourist and a mountaineer. A large superb view in the autumn when colored leaves also burn and bloom at the inside is highlights. 360 ° of panorama all over which a deep red carpet was spread can be enjoyed fully from the "Tanigawa-dake ropeway" which can approach about 1300 m of altitude casually. Before and after a ride, a local specialty gourmet and a bicycle cycling with an electric assist, the pleasure, fully. Doesn't this autumn go out to a substantial excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves in comfortable Tanigawadake Joch?

"Joshinetsu national park" the highest peak and Tanigawadake in inside and the mountain stream chain of mountains in Gunma and the Niigata border between prefectures. Souji Mine with the characteristic shape like the ear of a cat with 2 tops called an ear of OKI (altitude 1,977m) and Thomas's ear (the said 1,963m). The form of a mountain of Alps order which is sometimes stern is the admiration by which the past and now are a hiker and climbers. Wonderfully, the colorful alpine plant the peculiar severe climate brings up is also learned about as "floral famous mountain".
It's also big charm that you can approach a high mountain zone casually when getting on a ropeway and a lift from the base. You can touch real nature for about 2 hours by a car and the Shinkansen from metropolitan area, and it's the spot which fits a one-day visit excursion and a family vacation.

The full length of "Tanigawa-dake ropeway" is 2,400m. I go up about 600 m of vertical drop in about 15 minutes to Tenjindaira station" in the "Doai mouth (even though, meeting complaint) station" empty top of the base. The strong wind and the crosswind peculiar to mountain suspend a gondola by 2 ropes and a short suspension machine and adopt the style which is called FUNITERU system I do movement every the rope of, and can enjoy stable ride quality hard. It's the country to adopt FUNITERU system, only 3 points. It's the longest movement distance in it.

I take "Tenjintouge matching lift" from Tenjindaira station, and it's to "Tenjin Toge Station" of altitude 1,500m in about 10 minutes. The panoramic view which is to the extent I hold my breath which can be overlooked, to Mt. Fuji is waiting for a Tanigawa-dake peak mountaineering course, Nikko Shirane-san and Akagi-san following an along ridge by time.

Best time is different from 2 encircled areas in a vertical drop a little, and long sightseeing of colored leaves is possible. The golden age is at the middle of October.

Best time continues for about 1 month while moving a peak of colored leaves to the base gradually from peak because there is great gap in an altitude in a movement area of "Tanigawa-dake ropeway".
I recommend sightseeing from observatory in a "Tenjin, Toge Station" roof for the beginning of October-middle ten days. The view by which the mountain ridge which ripples colored colorfully is with the value of the glance from Tanigawa-dake peak to an observatory stretch. The surrounding mountains and the trees along Nishikurozawa which flows through senkashita are satisfied with red in all directions and orange yellow autumn scenery while taking a Tanigawa-dake ropeway at the middle of October-beginning of November. Excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves Experience which is a walk in the air for about 15 minutes and is left in the memory is made.

It's said that coloring of colored leaves is vivid for intense Tanigawa-dake of temperature gap. The color for which the deep red mountain ash, the golden Mine maple, the beech and the maple are also very good. A water oak in a mountain area, a horse chestnut, SAWAGURUMI on the Ichinokurasawa route and Ohba spicebush also have abundant tree species, and there is an impression. It's also fun to look at the respective leaves, a forest and the fruit which became countless carefully, compare and love nature in various autumn.
To be able to meet the view which is called "three step colored leaves" when it's timely. Three steps of colored leaves are the superb view where snowfall around the peak, the autumnal tints of the side, green in the foot of a mountain and the white red green 3 colors are judged by the state which spreads over the sight only in the area where even the country was limited very much.

It's the Tanigawa-dake which can taste a superb view of colored leaves casually, the mountain range where that place is steep as expected. An important one is equipment of clothes happily for safe ropeway sightseeing, hike and cycling. Everyone bites at the average temperature of October, even a town is 12 ℃ stand. "Tanigawa-dake ropeway" that the lowest temperature becomes a stand 7 ℃ when an altitude judges Fujiwara area in a nearby neighborhood as the foot of a mountain "the Doai mouth station". Even if it's fine, it's chilly, and there is a great gap in the sensible temperature with a plain.
It's recommended to bring the jacket which is taken off, put on, done and often controlled as well as the clothes which are a long sleeve and trousers, etc. when visiting. A fleece, a down jacket and a wool sweater are a cold measure in early winter in the second half October. I'm relieved at the shoes used often walking a footing and putting it on.

Descent home of the Doai Station called a common name "the mole station". A vertical drop with a station building on the ground, about 70 m.
