Four seasons

HOME > Nature & Onsen - Four seasons

Spring

Experience the uniqueness of spring under the warmth of the sun reflecting off the remaining winter snow while budding flowers add a soft spray of color.

Chaya Pond

There is a mysterious and fantasy-like ambiance cast about this pond when the hue of "new" green from the surrounding beech tree forest tints the snow-capped surface of this pond.

Summer

Where Mother Nature emits energies of life for all to receive, through the strength of the earth, the greenness of the trees and the mineral rich spring water.

Temple of the Hydrangea

Due to the thousands of hydrangea trees, which blossom at the beginning of July or August, the name, "Temple of the Hydrangea" has become a familiarity to Kogenin Temple.

It is a worthwhile experience to walk along the hydrangea-laden path.

Autumn

The harvest season, where nature transforms this village with varying colors of each leaf.

Shojuan

In 1960 (Showa 35) Shojuan was recognized as a historical landmark of Nagano Prefecture. The main building, which still remains, was rebuilt in 1847.

Slip into time as you experience the mysterious air of the garden and its ancient pond.
