Visited a southern part of the Shinshu region 2: Komagane highland

<  1. A dry riverbed >


Today, I introduce Komagane highland.
We played with our grandchildren in this dry riverbed.



Komagane highland
There is this highland in front of where a river flowing from Mt. Komagatake in Kiso Mountains ( the central Alps) joins Tenryu River.
This highland is 800m above sea level at the maximum in Ina Basin.
Here is a ropeway for climbing on the mountain, ski areas and hotels, and it becomes a huge resort area.

We can see Ina Basin in the back, and beyond it, see Southern Alps.

Many families enjoyed playing in the water.





<  6.  On the dry riverbed  >


The water of the river was not so cold  because probably it was shallow.
Our grandchildren touched with nature and were joyful.
We were having happiest moment.

This continues the next time.
