About passing and passing

ContinuedCliffThe road continues, and there are many narrow places. People coming from the direction of Ashihara will pass this area at an earlier time,Passing each otherThere are relatively few possibilities ofpassingI think the case of will come out. It was an impression that it would not be a problem if two people in one person each other, but it might be to walk together for a while if it is with more people or when it is with a group.

Ahead of thisHigashiya Suspension BridgeThere is, but thereIt is necessary to pass one by one while there is a considerable distanceSo, when I cross the suspension bridge, I have to go ahead there, or I can not adjust each other if we wait for a whilePossibility to spend considerable time on waiting timeWas likely to be.

 

Kansai Electric Power Kurobe 4th power plant

 

 

Walk around 5 minutes and there are artifacts of strange shape on the mountain surface of the opposite bank.

 

 

ApparentlyPower line entranceIt seems like a building to be

I am surprised for a moment because it appears suddenly in such mountains and also in the mountains, but if you think about it carefully, this area is a route that was originally developed based on the pre-war and post-war power development, and that is why such a region. If you think about it, it is no wonder if there is such a facility here, but if you leave the Kurobe dam and walk over a few hours where there is almost no such sign until now, suddenly I think everyone is not surprised at the landscape.

 

 

I came, todayWaterfall line location 2.

You can see if you look at the picture, but the water is falling from the overhanging rock, so it is well on the road. There is not much way width,The rock at the bottom is wet and slipperyIt's better to go through the outside and don't let it pass without getting wet. By any meansI definitely get wet here(Lol)

By the way, there is no space to wear rainwear or to attach a Zack cover around this. It does not mean that the whole body gets wet even though it gets wet, so I think that there are no major problems if you pass it as it is, but if it is that you do not want to get wet and you do not want to wet the Zack,It is realistic to prepare at Cross Gorge Square or Toya Suspension BridgeHeel.

The right side of the road is a cliff. "No injuries to KurobeThere is a word, but if it falls, it does not end with injury,Lead to deathThat is the meaning. It is not a story that is limited to this place, but this road continues to continue around here, so be careful about falling and slipping. Safely.

 

 

The entrance of the power transmission line, which was visible from a while ago, was clearly seen.

"Kansai Electric Power""Black four power plant" Its overall looks and nice, it's in the shape of a drilled hole, it's very humorous. Even if you look at the font of lettersGood old Showa scentI feel It should have been several decades since construction, but it kept its beautiful form.

In the first place this form isSnow and avalanche that will unimaginate the winter seasonIt is not hard to imagine that it was born after repeated studies to consider how to protect the facilities, but it is interesting if it results in this form of soft impression as a result.

 

 

Head towards the "Kansai Electric" side.

 

 

Likewise, the "Black Four Power Station" on the right. You can see the internal equipment. I wonder if this mouth will remain open during the winter.

When this is visibleHigashiya Suspension BridgeIt is coming soon. The road of the precipice up to now is over, and it goes down the steep slope of the woodland zone. The tense road I've walked to here also felt a little lonely when I was about to finish it.

 

To the longest Higashiya Suspension Bridge on the lower corridor route

 

 

Higashiya Suspension BridgeCame to this place (this signboard is on the side of Amidahara after crossing the bridge)

 

 

It looks long, but if you actually go over itLonger than it looks.

The suspension bridge in the Cross Gorge is not so long, and it can be surprisingly easy to pass normally, but this is a little different. First of all, probably because of the long distanceThe way of swinging up and down is not halfis. If you shake up and down, you will be afraid to balance walking.

The suspension bridge structurally hangs the whole bridge because the wire comes down near the center of the bridge, so you can see that it has come to the center of the bridge when you walk it, so it will come to half And "there is still half still more"Sense of closeness to hopelessnessIt may be attacked by

It is no good if you get nervous once. It took me a long time without being able to walk on the stasta. Walking in the lower corridor, "I was scared hereSome people wrote on the blog, but I felt that I could understand the opinion even if it was the best or not (lol)

 

 

This bridge is from the bridge. If you look at this before crossing, fear may be doubled further (lol)

 

 

If you walk across the Higashiya Suspension Bridge, you will see an old tunnel in about 5 minutes. The road will be wide enough for a car to run a little while before the tunnel is visibleSenjindani DamIt is felt that is close.

It seems that many years have passed since the tunnel was made,At first glance it looks like ruinsIt is a good thing. It was sunny and bright on this day, so I did not feel anything at all, but it may be a bit creepy at rainy weather or at night.

 

 

I felt that the condition of the light was good. The inside of the tunnel has a solid atmosphere, and you can feel that it has finally entered the Senjindani Dam area.

The picture shows a bit, but if you walk a little, the road curvesVery darkIt becomes. There was no need to add a HEDEN, as the exit is visible and not so long.

 

 

Once you get out of the tunnel, you will follow the mountain path again. You can see the head of a considerable drop on the opposite bank. If water flows here, it is likely to become a considerable force. Even such a thing,As expected KurobeI was convinced strangely.

 

One of the purpose of this mountain line, Senjindani Dam

 

 

I kept thinking that I wanted to go by all means if there was a chance from beforeSenjindani DamIt has finally been seen.

This strange gap is felt as an artificial artifact that suddenly appears in the back of this Kurobe, a dam that has finally emerged after walking through the lower corridor for a few hours,Somehow it's a faraway realityI remember what I felt.

It is a place completely managed by human hands, but the surrounding area of ​​this day is quiet, and the atmosphere has a unique atmosphere that feels like awe. In that area, this dam will be one of the stagesAkira Yoshimura's novel "Tatsumi Sakai"You may have felt that you were reading

 

With Sennindani Dam

 

The Senjindani Dam is a power generation dam that was last built by the Nippon Electric Power Company in the Kurobe River water system in order to generate power at the Kurobe River Power Plant No. 3 (Kurosan Power Plant) located in Kodaira downstream.

Quoted from Wikipedia "Senjindani Dam"

I will go to the entrance of the Sennindani Dam Management Center

 

 

When you come to the side of the damUnkiri New Road Horizontal SidewalkAs the signboard comes out, go up the stairs and follow the embankment.

"Unkiri New Road"Is a way to reach Sennin Pass through Sennin Hot Spring Hut and Sennin Pond Hutte. It is also used to access Mt. Tsurugidake. In the summer of 2018, I used Unkiri New Road down the road, but it was a rumoredly difficult road. It is a kind of impression whether it is okay to use up and down or not actively, but I feel like I'm walking happily when I can go back again (lol)

"Sidewalk"Points to the section of Sennindani dam to Kotohira among the Shimononori corridor route, while" from Kurobe dam to Sennindani dam "Old Nichiden sidewalkIt is said that In general, the two sectionsLower corridorIt seems to be said.

 

 

A map located up the stairs to the dam embankment. I feel this map is not a map of the route I actually walk when I look closely. It is shown that if this is going to walk without entering the dam management office building. It looks like it is possible to go through the aqueduct when looking at the downstream side from the dam embankment, is this road being used now? is.

 

By the way, the route that passes this time (in other words, the route currently used) passes through the dam management building, and crosses the Kansai Electric Power Kurobe exclusive railway passing above the water channel and exits in the direction of Awahara.

 

 

Proceed through the Embankment of Sennindani Dam.

 

 

The right hand is downstream. You can see the aqueduct mentioned in the previous map. Above that seems to be the Kansai Electric Power Kurobe exclusive railway.

What is the route through the waterway bridge? I do not want to walk this area too much even if I have (laughs)

 

 

If you look closely at the previous picture, you can see that the water is flowing into the valley with tremendous energy. If there is such a thing, there is no room when it is washed away.

 

 

The dam lake spreads on the left of the dam. I am addicted to this too beautiful color for a while. Really good color.

 

 

"Kansai Electric Power Sennindani Dam Management Office" Many people are written on blogs, etc., but if the guide plate is not on the doorknob, "Are you really here?Atmosphere.

 

Finally into the Senjindani Dam Management Office

 

 

Depending on this notation, let's go inside!

 

 

Considering the history of this facility,Modernization industrial heritageI feel that it is understood well to be registered in.

 

 

There is a guide to the key point so follow along.

 

 

This is famousTunnel in the Sennindani Dam.

The ceiling is not low and you can walk normally, and the lighting is solid, so there is no need for HEDEN. I am excited that this will continue to the last.

 

 

There is guidance again. Turn this to the right

 

And to the heat of death

 

 

"Attention to the trainThe smell of sulfur drifts with the signboard. Here isHigh feverIt is an intersection with the track leading to finally came.

 

 

The left hand is a tunnel leading to the back, this is exactlyHigh feveris. In addition to sulfur smell in the tunnel,Considerable heatI'm sorry.

I was lucky enough to talk to the staff who just came.

 

 

 

Almost a few secondsThis is right. The atmosphere of this place comes out well by this. It is this scene that I had read and imagined the novel "High Heat Pass".

 

 

 

 

On the rightJinpingThe track to reach to is continued.

 

 

In the staff's story "ElevatorThe word comes out. Anyone can rideDolly train (Kurobe gorge railway main line)AndKotohira StationIt seems that they are connected at the same time, but it seems that there is nothing to do with the fact that the tracks are normally connected.

 

The upstream of Jinping is steep with 24 equivalent to river gradient 1, and the elevation difference is 250 meters, and it could not be climbed by the power of the trolley train. For this reason, a vertical shaft with a height of 200 meters was excavated in Tobira and an elevator for transporting the trolley was installed inside. The elevators are transported by the Kansai Electric Power Kurobe Railway, which passes along a steep road excavated to the Sennin Valley. The Kansai Electric Power staff dormitory is located near the Sennindani Dam, and Sennindani Station is set up on the Kansai Electric Power Kurobe dedicated railway as the nearest station to this facility.

A valuable story came to me. thank you for your help.

 

 

We will continue to move along the guidance in the dam facility.

 

 

The tunnel seemed to go through in the middle and the bottom. The piping and metal parts are corroded and rusted due to sulfur content.

 

 

While walking along the inside of the facility, the inner wall walks through the concrete-maintained route, but there was still a section where the ground surface was exposed beyond the fence.

 

Leaving the Sennindani Dam to Azohara Onsen Goya

Let me tour the dam to my heart's content,Ashihara areaGo out of the door to

 

 

When you get out of the doorIn addition, we are planning to prevent the invasion of bears on this door, so please be sure to cooperate with us."And posted.

The door is locked with a yoke, so you need to hang it after you go out. Even so,After all bear bear comes outWell, here too. Speaking of which, there were those who had bear bells on the way to here.

From here, pass through the sidewalks of the Kanden people lookout camp,Right of honorI will walk to you. Along the way, there are ropes and steep climbs and stairs.Hard for the body I've walked to here(Laughs)

 

 

I have arrived at the Gongen. This is not a place on the map that is particularly a point, nor is the scenery particularly good, so I will pass as it is.

 

 

At the end of the signboard there is a tunnel, and after this there will be a flat path for a while, but from the front of Azohara Onsen GoyaA sudden downturn continues. Again,It is quite hard to say that the body has walked to here(Laughs)

 

Azohara Onsen Goya arrives!

 

 

Finally arrived!I am relieved that I have walked safely to here. By the way, those who are reflected in the entrance of the hut are two people who were pulled over halfway.

Azohara Onsen GoyaArrival is13: 45 aroundbecame. It is out of the cross gorge10: 45 aroundBecause it was, it is calculation that I came to walk on the course time from there. Starting from Kurobe Dam on 5: 40XNUM X hours X NUM X minutes. Take a break on the way, talk with the staff at Sennindani Dam,I took pictures like a mountainIf you think about it (laughs), I think that you were probably good.

After this, I was told to go through the room (all on this day shared room), but it seems that these two people and we were the earliest arrival in the cabin night group of this day. It was guided from the back of the 4 room in order of arrival.

 

To the hot spring outdoor bath I was looking forward to

Arriving at the cabin and going up the entrance, Izumi Sasaki, the husband,At first we go to bath!"When.

The open-air bath hereMen and women during the day 1 shift systemIt seems that it was just men's time zone. If it is the next time zone, it becomes for men from 15 half hour, "It's pretty crowded today, and groups are coming too soon, so it's better!"And. I had to leave my luggage at the front of the entrance, so I went straight to the open-air bath.

 

 

There is a tent area just below the cabin, but getting down from the tent area was the 7-8 rank. I think that you will understand soon because the signboard stands.

Actually I went there because I could borrow the sandals of the hut, but from the tent area to the open-air bathMountain road with normal slopeis. It is recommended that you go with climbing shoes if you are concerned.

 

 

We arrived in an open-air bath, famous as a secret bath!The customer is only the one mentioned earlier. There are some sunokos by the bath, and you can take off your shoes and change on them. Take off your clothes and take a bath in a place where there is no enclosure.What a sense of openness!I feel like (laughs)

Apparently it looks like you can get dressed in the tunnel like a seat in the back of the bath, but it's clear that some people came after this, but no one was using it.

By the way, here,There is a soap and you can use it freely. There was no hair dryer in the cabin, so I was lost until I came to the bath to see if I was going to wash my hair, but I also had some hot water and I felt that I could wash my hair. It feels good (laughs)

Well, I will take a bath. The bathtub has an adequate depth so that it can be soaked up to the shoulders, and the foot can be extended sufficiently.The hot water is completely drainedSo, new hot water is poured into the bath constantly from 2 hoses.Temperature is also optimalAnd comfort that you want to enter forever.It is paradise in such a mountain.

While being immersed in this hot springBeer and drinks in one handThere is something that looks like it, but it would be fun if it was vacant. in additionWhen you notice it later(Laughs) I arrived in the cabin and came to the bath, so I forgot to bring in the camera, and I used this photo and the photo of the outdoor outdoor bath sign taken by the friend I accompanied. I received it.

 

Speaking of the bath

Enjoy the hot spring outdoor bath and return to the hut. I need to climb back to the cabin on the way home, so if I rush back here I will sweat again (lol)

 

 

Today's room is the innermost XNUM X Room.

By the way, on this day, there was a group crowded, and there was a lot of congestion.Guests are 90 or moreIt seems to have become.Two people in one futon.

It seems to be common if it is crowded up to that side,There is only one pillow. It is natural if you think about it, but it may be better to bring a person who has a pillow for ten nights etc., as it may not be noticed unexpectedly. It was useful to bring something that I usually use at Tenday when my pillow was good.

 

 

It is a view from the room. It was helped by the mild weather all day.

I remembered one here. In fact, we prepared in advance when we left Kurobe Dam this morningMountain climbing reportI was surprised that I

Maybe there was a posting place near the exit of Karabe in the Kurobe Dam or near the mountaineering entrance, but there may have been tensionsI did not notice its existence at all. I also noticed that I had already reached the vicinity of the Cross Gorge, and it is not realistic to turn it back if I think about the distance. I remembered that and when I consulted with the staff of the hut whether I could keep the mountain climbing report, I was very helpful, saying "I'm fine". thank you for your help.

It is an exceptional case to leave a mountain climbing report in a mountain hut.Originally, it is necessary to post it at the mountaineering entrance etc. or send it to the police or public agency of jurisdiction beforehand..

Looking back on this case, there may be a place where you can get a mountain climbing report at Kurobe Dam Station, but that station can go through the station within the operating time of the trolley bus or other times. Is changing. That may be why the posting place was not found. When accessing from OgisawaOgisawa StationOrKurobe Dam StationI thought it would be better to be aware of the mountain climbing report when you arrived at.

At first it is relieved. so,

 

 

I waited!I am grateful that I could walk safely on this long day. Thank you very much.Campay!

That this beer was delicious. I was on my way. By the wayHave lots of beer in stockis. We drank lightly after dinner, but despite the number of guests who exceeded 90 people, we were able to purchase without being sold out.

 

 

The meal isFamous curryWill be dinner. It is simple seasoning, but this was delicious too. The dinner on this day was up to the 5 round,Curry is freeI was full because I was.

 

 

There are also salad and croquettes.I was happy with the raw vegetables.

After eating, I once returned to my room,It was crowded and chaoticSo I took some time to drink lightly in the dining room space again. I wonder if everyone felt the same thing, but the cafeteria was full in no time (laughs)

The weather for tomorrow seems to be rainy. I decided to leave the cabin early just in case, and I had a quick break on this day. However, I could not sleep well with a good population density (laughs)
