Site of Nishizawa Forest Railway - Yamanashi

Hand tunnel tunnel was wonderful

Minecart road is good

This is the trace of the Nishizawa Forest Track, which extends from the end of the Nishizawa Valley Promenade. Since the promenade is also a track mark, there are tracks everywhere, but the end of the toilet is the end of the world. About 30m beyond the toilet is good because it doubles as a mountain trail, but there is a sign that says "Impassable". A wooden bridge that crosses the river or all the piers have decayed or collapsed and only the tracks are suspended. Generally, there are detour tracks on the mountain side, so you can go there, but the risk is high. The temporary pier listed in Yamasa was repaired with scaffolding boards, so it seems that someone repaired it. It's scary just to imagine that a minecart has fallen due to gravity sliding, but it's a unique place to experience such a thing. And I could reach the position of the icon in this place. As you can see in the photo I posted, the rotten logs and the suspended railroad line made me turn back without the courage to cross the point where a steep cliff was formed below. From here onwards, the track traces two tunnels, crossing Nishizawa, and heading on the north shore toward the Hirose Dam Nishizawa Rainfall Observatory, which leads to the three branches of thistle swamp, Kyo no Sawa, and Motoya. I've been to the other side of the rainfall observatory from the other side, so about 1km left as the task to reach this time. However, since this section is dangerous, there are multiple people, and unless it is equipped with Zile etc., it is considered inevitable that the slip accident will occur. As a matter of course, since the orbital trace is a perfect self-responsibility, those who go must be prepared accordingly. 2020.5 postscript Two years have passed since the last challenge in 2018.6, and I gained some experience in climbing the 87 seats of the Yamanashi Hyakumeizan, so I tried again. The place where I gave up last time, Yahari I will crawl again this time. There is an aerial rail on the valley side, but I can't bear the weight, and there is no place to grab on the mountain side. However, he endured the unbearable, endured the unbearable, and overcame the whole body with the whole spirit, distributing the load to the rocks and rails. It was the risk level MAX in my history. Until I got over here on my way home, I was worried whether I would be able to return home. Beyond this dangerous point, the first tunnel, a bare dig, is slightly curved. It's about 20m, but sleepers still remain in the tunnel. After crossing many pier collapses, the second tunnel, about 10 meters, is straight. There is a curved part around here where the third rail remains. It's a railroad track, wonderful. If you proceed further, it will become a large place, there is a prefabricated hut, a jar is scattered around, equipment and rails are also left. Perhaps there was a point exchange facility at this place, as well as a dormitory. There are many retro cans, and you can feel Showa painfully. Finally, the rails and roadbed become cliffs at several hundred meters. There is a signpost to Kokushigatake, and it will be the place to go to Nishizawa. When I got down to the river, only one pier remained and the rail was bent like a candy. Perhaps the bridge was dropped due to flooding and only the rail remains. The amount of water in Nishizawa was large, and I think that it is necessary to be prepared because it will cross the water to the waist. On the other side of the road, I could see the air-printed rail and the carriageway that climbed in 99 times, though it was a track. It was confirmed on GPS that there was a "Hirose Dam Rainfall Observatory" immediately on the opposite bank. It has reached to 2017.7, and it is possible to connect from both sides with this, mission complete, infinite amount. Note) As mentioned above, we do not recommend it because it is a super dangerous zone where one accident can cause a fatal accident, so if you go, you are completely at your own risk.

The way home. No dangerous spots. It's been about an hour since I went there.

2021.11.5 It seems that it was a little late, but the autumn leaves were still beautiful. The road that used to be a minecart is now the best hiking road!
