n the heart of Chino lies a fairytale forest blanketed by moss – a sheer expanse of vibrant greens, like an untouched pristine scene from one of Miyazaki’s films.
With the sunlight sparkling on the morning dewdrops, everything is still and silent. It’s not hard to imagine a sleeping Totoro waking up among the moss covered tree branches, surrounded by kodoma – Japanese woodland spirits.
In this post, we invite you to open your eyes to a different kind of adventure. The kind that involves miniature worlds, forests and ecosystems you’ve not yet taken the time to notice before. We invite you to observe up close and look, really take the time to look, at all the intricate details we too often pass by. You might just discover how fascinatingly beautiful and complex the world truly is.
Located on the eastern side of the Nagono Prefecture, Chino is still a relatively unknown destination for the majority of tourists, yet is home to one of the most diverse mossy ecosystems in Japan. Best of all, you can still get up close and personal with nature without the excessive crowds.
Discover all that the Chino Moss Forest has to offer:
Kokenomori – Chino Moss Forest
he Chino Moss Forest is one of the best and important mossy ecosystems in Japan. Featuring over 485 different kinds of moss, Chino’s moss forest makes up nearly a quarter of all the species indigenous to Japan.
As you begin your stroll inside the moss forest, you’ll notice the temperature drop instantly. The atmosphere is cool and calming and presents a perfect opportunity to breathe in and enjoy the crisp, fresh air.
The main walking trails are well built and sturdy, with wheelchair friendly pathways constructed with wooden boards. For those looking to explore off the beaten track, small wooden planks venture off into a myriad of directions from the main pathways. Slightly unstable, the wooden planks are a great way for those steady on
their feet to experience the different kinds of moss that lay deeper within the forest.
Visiting on a sunny autumn day, the moss was a little dry and not as green and vibrant as we expected. The moss looks its best just after a shower, so we recommend visiting during periods of rainfall – you’ll see a noticeable difference in the vibrancy of the moss.
In 2008, the moss surrounding Shirakoma Pond was designated as a National Bryophyte Heritage Site by the Bryological Society of Japan. For those wanting to get deeper insight into the different species of moss, the local walking tours are filled with plenty of knowledge.
The map below highlights 10 different locations in the moss forest, where you can experience different species of moss, as well as walking trails and times.

Shirakoma Pond
nuggled in the foothills of Mt. Kita-Yatsugatake is Shirakoma Pond, nestled roughly in the centre of Chino Moss Forest. This pond is the largest lake in Japan that can be found above 2,100m and is well known for its surrounding moss forest.
Just a short 15minute walk from the car park, you will arrive at the lake. Walking the circumference of the pond only takes 45minutes and makes for a perfectly scenic and easy going hike. Small eateries for refreshments are dotted along the way.
Shirakoma Pond is known for its crystal clear water – a 5.8 meter degree of water
transparency to be exact. The lake is said to be named after a tragic legend of a young girl who fell into the lake with her white horse and was never found again.
The primeval woods surrounding the lake are hundreds of years old and feature a variety of flora including Japanese hemlock, spruces, Veitch’s silver fir and the appearance of Japanese rowan in autumn.
Calming and tranquil, Shirakoma Pond is the perfect pitt stop during a day spent hiking.
Photography Tips
have to say, having never photographed moss before, it took a while to get the type of shots I was looking for. I’m more of a landscape photographer rather than shooting up close detailed shots, but I absolutely LOVED shooting at the moss forest. Here are my tips to get the most out of your moss photography:
Bring a spray bottle
We visited on a sunny autumn day and as a result the moss was mostly dry. I had it in my head prior to visiting that I wanted to capture beautiful dew kissed moss! Luckily, we read a tip online that suggested bringing a little spray bottle of water to “freshen up the moss” before we took our photos. Dew-kissed moss photos? Great success!
Use a Macro Lens and Low Aperture
For those with DSLR cameras, macro lenses work nicely for some close up detail shots and, with low aperture, bokeh backgrounds.
Join a Tour/Bring Cute Figurines
Some moss forest tours also offer little photography shoots where you can take photos of the moss with miniature anime character set ups, such as Totoro and other woodland spirits. These look super cute and we’re bummed we did not bring our own!
As always, the easiest and most efficient way to get to Chino moss forest is by car. We were staying at Kurumayama Kogen Skypark in Chino, and the drive took 50mins.
Parking is free and there is a public toilet available.
By Train
Trains to the Chino Moss Forest area can be caught from Tokyo and Shinjuku station.
From Tokyo Station catch the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Sakudaira.
From Shinjuku Station, catch the JR Chuo Line to Kabuchizawa Station. From here catch the JR Koumi Line to Yachiho station.
From Sakudaira and Yachiho Station, you can catch the local buses outlined in the next section to Shirakoma Pond.
By Local Bus
Local buses run from Sakudaira and Yachiho Station to Shirakoma Pond. You can use the Yachiho Kogen Local Bus timetable to look up local bus times. On the timetable, 佐久平駅 is “Sakudaira”, 八千穂駅 is “Yachiho Station” and 白駒池入口 is the “Shirakoma Pond Entrance.” There are two buses on weekdays (red) and weekends (green). Read the timetable horizontally to see departure and arrival times.
The price for a local bus to Shirakoma Pond Entrance from Sakudaira Station is ¥1950, and while we can’t seem to find the exact price from Yachiho station, it should be cheaper as it is much closer to the destination.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to step inside of your favourite comic book (or manga?). Wonder no further because now you can do just that at Tokyo’s new 2D Cafe!
Setting & Atmosphere
alling all boba and manga fans alike – have we got a fun-filled cafe experience for you!
For those that don’t know, comic book culture or “manga” is intensely popular in Japan and, given Tokyo’s penchant for all things novelty, it wasn’t too much of a surprise when we found out a 2D Cafe had opened up in Tokyo just before our trip! Hooray!
Located in Shin-Okubo aka Tokyo’s Korea Town, the 2D Cafe first opened its doors in August 2019. Stepping inside this cafe is like stepping into the pages of a manga. Everything inside, from the furniture to the walls, is painted white and outlined with black, hand-drawn sketch lines, making for both a trippy and extremely believable manga experience. Not to mention it’s incredibly Instagrammable.
Given the cafe’s novelty and instagrammable-ness, it’s not surprising that the crowd here is rather international with tourists from Europe, South-East Asia, America, Instagrammers (hey they really are a breed of their own), and of course, us Aussies ;) In fact, I think there was only one table of Japanese girls! Despite this, the cafe was fairly empty when we arrived around noon, which made for a pleasant experience and allowed for some playful photo opportunities. With the comic book setting of our surroundings, choosing to wear bright colourful clothing really made our photos pop.
You might be wondering, ‘if this cafe is so mind-blowing, why didn’t it get a perfect 5 star score?’ That my friends is an excellent question that has to do with Tokyo’s 2D Cafe predecessor, Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20 located in Seoul. But first, enjoy pictures from Tokyo’s 2D Cafe:
Tokyo’s 2D Cafe VS. Cafe Yeonnam-dong 2339-20 (Greem Cafe)
There’s a lot of confusion online between Tokyo’s 2D Cafe and its famous predecessor; Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20 (now called Greem Cafe). Pictures of Greem Cafe will often appear in blog posts about Tokyo’s 2D cafe, and I’m here to set the record straight. There are some key differences between the two cafes which makes Tokyo’s version score just a little less than its Korean competitor.
Put simply, Greem Cafe steps it up a notch. Unlike Tokyo’s 2D cafe, where the floors are simple white tiles, Greem Cafe goes the extra mile with hand sketched floorboards and serves all food and drinks using sketched outlined plates, cups, mugs and yes – even cutlery. This attention to detail helps to elevate the 2D effect immensely and in comparison I couldn’t give Tokyo’s 2D Cafe a perfect score.
e gotta be honest with you. This score is solely based on our boba tea experience. Bubble tea has been in Sydney for quite some time, even before the recent viral trend taking over at the moment, so I have to say we’re quite the connoisseurs.
Apparently, the boba obsession is also the latest trend in Japan and to cater for this, Tokyo’s 2D Cafe is primarily a bubble tea cafe while also offering a selection of fruit juices, coffees and shaved ice desserts (Kakigori) and cake as the only food options. If you’re looking for a hearty meal or something savoury this is not the place. In saying this, the vivid colours of the fruity kakigori’s look stunning against the stark white and black backdrop of the cafe and are a great way to add more fun to your photos!
But back to the boba tea. I ordered the 2D Black Sugar Assam Bubble Milk Tea and Siree ordered a Cappucino.
Let’s start with the bubble tea. If you happen to take a gander at the menu below, you’ll see there is only ONE milk tea that has “2D” in the title. So naturally Siree and I were like ‘oooh, why is this called 2D? Maybe they serve this tea all special in a 2D looking mug or cup’ and we ordered it. To our disappointment, we received a regular looking bubble tea that looked exactly like all the others. Why the hell is it called ‘2D’ when it doesn’t have anything special about it???? We we’re kinda bummed.
While the flavours of the bubble tea were really nice, the pearls were unfortunately hard, which is a big no when it comes to bubble tea. Pearls are supposed to be sticky, chewy and almost gooey balls of pure joy (lol). Siree’s Cappucino was well received and had the ‘barista quality’ taste she misses from Sydney. Apparently a lot of Japanese cafes, particularly the chains, sell coffee similar to the instant coffee you buy in supermarkets and she very much enjoyed her coffee here.
Service
he 2D Cafe does not have table service, so there is very little interaction with the staff except for when you order. Staff were friendly and after you pay for your order, you are given a pager.
When the pager buzzes, you pick up your order from a separate counter.
The best thing about the cafe is that you’re never made to feel rushed out, you can stay as long as you like and just enjoy.
Value For Money
have to say, I think the prices here are pretty pricey compared to bubble tea prices in Sydney. But I’m told that in general, bubble tea is a little more experience in Tokyo with prices starting from 500 yen. The 2D Cafe has bubble teas starting from 600 yen, with the Assam Sugar Teas starting from 650 yen. It is also an additional 50 yen to add toppings.
With the quality of our bubble tea not being great, we deem this UNJUSTIFIABLE!!! haha.
The Cappuccino however was served in a large sized mug, which at 550yen was very good value for money, especially since coffee sizes are usually quite small in Japan.
gainst a rich, sky blue backdrop stands a pristine white shrine overlooking a sea of clouds. In the background the breath taking Mount Fuji is surrounded by the Yatsugatake, Southern, Central and Northern Alps.
This describes perfectly the photograph I saw which instantly had me add “Sunrise hike up Mount Kurumayama,” to our list of things to do on The Hidden Thimble’s upcoming Japan trip.
In Japan, the phenomenon of ‘unkai’ or ‘sea of clouds’ is a popular sight to see, especially in the early mornings from Autumn to early Spring. Unkai describes the mystical experience of being above the clouds or overlooking a sea of clouds, usually when standing on the peak of a mountain. The clouds typically form a blanket that covers the valleys and cities below.
Starting your day with a sunrise hike while on vacation is tough on a summer’s day. Doing it on a freezing cold November morning with little sleep the night before? Nearly impossible.
Nearly.
We hit snooze once…annnnd ended up leaving just before it started getting light outside. But, this actually worked in our favour because, long story short, being unfamiliar with the area made it extremely difficult to find the starting points of the hiking trails…imagine us trying to do it in the darkness of the night?
So you can get the most out of a sunrise hike to Mount Kurumayama – even in the black of night – we’re sharing allll our knowledge in this handy blog post:
Hiking To Mount Kurumayama Summit and Shrine
o let’s be real, the goal of a sunrise hike is to be able to get the most sleep possible, while still being able to hike to the summit of a mountain with enough time to catch the sunrise. Therefore, you need to know the shortest route out of the many different ways to hike to Mount Kurumayama’s summit.
We believe the shortest route begins at the Kurumayama SKYPARK carpark. The start of the hiking trail can be found behind the Kurumayama Sky Plaza building, where you will find a sign pointing towards the correct trail. In total, the walk is only 3kms which should take you roughly 40mins. Remember to take a torch with you. It will be dark as night when you start.
While the signage is great at the very beginning of the hike, it does disappear after some time and knowing which way to go can be difficult. Being unfamiliar with the area, we went the wrong way a couple of times, but were able to use google to walk in the right direction and find our way back on track. The hike is very gentle and easy, and begins with wooden steps that transition into a flat pebbled path.
The path does veer off into different directions at times and there’s often no signage pointing which way to go, please refer to the map below for the correct route.
If you would like to visit Yashima Marsh, you can do so by taking a left off the track and following the signs.
As you get closer to the summit, you will begin walking up stoney steps. This is probably the steepest and toughest part of the hike, but still easy overall. Once you reach the summit, the shrine is literally right in front of you. All that’s left to do is enjoy the view and take some photos! There are a few seats at the top too so you can have a picnic. Beware. It is absolutely freezing. Painfully so in autumn when we visited, but temperatures are also known to be below 10 degrees even in summer.
We unfortunately didn’t get the right conditions to experience the unkai overlooking the valley with Mount Fuji in the background. We were however, able to experience the full unkai effect overlooking the valleys on the opposite side of the mountain. If your goal is to see unkai, make sure to check the weather conditions ahead of time.
Signage can be found at the Kurumayama Kogen SKYPARK, behind the Sky Plaza Building
This is what the start of the hiking trail looks like.

Ema are wooden tablets you can use at Japanese shrines to write down any prayers or wishes. This is a traditional way to send prayers and wishes to the gods.

Chairlift to Mount Kurumayama Summit
Hiking not your thing? Every Sunday from May to early November you can take a 15minute sunrise chairlift to the summit.
Enjoy your sleep in ;)
Seasonality: The Best Time to Visit Kurumayama Kogen
e visited Kurumayama Kogen during the month of November, which is off-peak season. There was literally no one in the area which made the experience very peaceful and finding places to park the car easy and stress free. The downside was there weren’t a whole lot of places open for dinner. In fact, we resorted to convenience store dinners, which in Japan is actually pretty great haha.
In autumn you can enjoy golden pampas grasslands and landscapes shifting colour from yellow to orange to red – beautiful against the blue sky. The crisp autumn air makes it the perfect time to get a clear view of Mount Fuji from the summit of Mount Kurumayama.
The downside? The lifts weren’t in operation, so if you’re relying on the lifts take that into consideration. It’s also very, very cold!
In winter the SKYPARK is transformed into a snow covered wonderland. This is the mountain’s most popular season and is filled with winter sport enthusiasts. Snow trekking to the summit is also possible in winter.
Spring and Summer is Kurumayama’s green season. The grasslands are transformed into luscious green fields filled with mountain blooms. Enjoy the nikko kisuge (yellow daylilies), Dwarf Pincushion Flowers and the Japanese Azalea.
Siree and I were doing a mini roadtrip around the Gifu area, so we decided to hire a car from Toyama Airport as we needed to return there to catch a plane to Miyazaki for the second half of our trip. From Toyama Airport, it was a 3.5 hour drive which was really easy to navigate using Google Maps.
For those travelling from Tokyo, it’s just a 3 hour drive.
Parking in the area is great and free 24 hours a day! There are 5 parking areas with a capacity of approximately 1500 vehicles. Some of the carparks can be quite far away from the SKYPARK, so on busy days a shuttle bus is available for transport to the SKYPARK.
By Public Transport
No matter where you are traveling from, the easiest way to travel to Kurumayama Kogen SKYPARK is from Chino station which can be reached from most stations in Japan. Once at Chino Station, you need to take the “ALPICO Highland Express Bus” from Stand 3. The bus needs to say “車山高原行” and the stop is “車山高原”.
There unfortunately is not a lot of English information on traveling to Kurumayama via public transport and any information you find on official tourist sites is incredibly vague. The best we can do for you is provide this Japanese link, which has a map that shows where bus stand 3 is: Chino to Kurumayama Bus Information
iree and I stayed at Petit Hotel Kanan, which is only a 10 minute walk from Kurumayama Kogen Ski Resort or a 2 minute drive. We stayed in a twin room with a private bathroom. Water was hot, the room was warm and amenities were great. The hotel provides soap, shampoo, slippers and a hairdryer and there’s free wifi inside the rooms. The hotel also has a full restaurant and sometimes hosts local jazz performances.
Nearby, Lake Shirakaba is only a 15minute drive.
Guests are free to come and go at any time, so we were able to leave early in the morning to do our sunrise hike.
