Experience the majesty of Japan's Central Alps
The Senjojiki Cirque boasts one of Nagano's most iconic alpine views. Accessible year-round via the Komagatake Ropeway, it's a stunning and convenient starting point for an adventure in the Central Alps.
The spot offers incredible scenery year-round, including the mountains towering over the cirque, the sea of clouds invisible from below, and the silent platinum world of the bitterly cold winter. In the summer there is a 4-hour round-trip hike up Mount Komagane from Hotel Senjojiki. From the apex visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the southern, central, and northern Japan Alps.
The central Japan Alps cover parts of both Miyada Village and Komagane City in Nagano Prefecture. To get to the Senjojiki Cirque, first take the bus for a 30-minute ride to Shirabidaira Station, then switch to the Komagatake Ropeway cable car for an 8-minute ride the rest of the way.
