Senjojiki Cirque
A cirque (semicircular basin) formed by the slow erosion of passing glaciers some 20 thousand years ago. The name Senjojiki, meaning 1,000 tatami mats, is derived from the size of the basin. In Autumn, the scenery here is a must-see. Due to the differences in elevation, fall foliage can be enjoyed here for an extended period of time in autumn, with trees starting to turn color in early September, much sooner than many other places. The contrast of the fall colors with the green of creeping pines and white rock is fantastically beautiful.
