Mt.Kurodake report
“Solidago virgaurea subsp. leiocarpa”, “Anaphalis margaritacea”, “Cirsium”, and “Aconitum yamazakii” still bloom at the north east slope.
But soon wild flowers are going to end, we are waiting for autumn leaves.
Around Ishimuro and Kumonodaira
“Geum pentapetalum” and “Phyllodoce caerulea” finished blooming.(But “Dicentra peregrina” at Mt.Ponkurodake is still beautiful to see)
In a few days the temperature is going down.
It is 2°c~5°c in the early morning around Kurodake ishimuro.
We are worry about autumn color Because the temperature has dropped sharply after terrible hot.
Today some leaves are turning red, but most of leaves are green.
We guess,
“The temperature is going down, but the temperature in the afternoon is not going up. Autumn color needs temperature difference. So leaves don’t turn very much.”
Weather forecast says that it will stay 8°~9°.
We guess leaves turn to autumn color slowly.
*When you walking, you feel hot.
But when you get to the summit and rest, you feel very cold.
Please prepare something warm to wear, and be careful not to get heat stroke.
*Akaishi river the flow is little strong and the amount of water is little much.
But you can cross the river stepping on the rocks.
*Snow gorge just below the Mt,Hokuchin junction
You have to walk on the snow. In a few days snow will all melt.
*Drinking water at Kurodake Ishimuro have been decreasing. Please have own water.
* Autum season veicle regurations about Ginsendai line and Kougen onsen line
