Kita Alps behind an old settlement in Oomachi City

            Another shot of Kita Alps taken several km north of the previous photo. Names of the peaks are commented on the photo. 

The settlement in the photo is called Sonebara (曽根原), which is known to have been part of the Nishina Manor (仁科御厨) of Ise Shrine during the Heian Period (794- 1192). It is interesting that the imperial shrine had a manor in such a remote location from Mie prefecture. Nishina Shinmeiguu shrine (仁科神明宮) located nearby is built in the same style as Ise Shrine.
It is situated on a river terrace of the Takase-gawa river, which is typical of old settlements in Azumino Valley.

Conifer trees in the photo are mostly Sugi (Japanese cedar, Cryptomeria japonica). It has been planted near the residence for windbreak. It is endemic to Japan. 
I am surprised to know from Wikipedia that it was introduced to Azores in the mid-19th century and now occupies 60% of its production forest and about 1/5 of the total land area of the archipelago.
