Fall foliage report for Mt. Kurodake

Mt.Kurodake autumn leaves report

This morning temperature at Kurodake Ishimuro was 0°C, it was colder than weather forecast. (Hakuun Hut was 2°c)
For a while the temperature will stay 3~4°c.

These temperature made “Arctous alpina var. japonica” at the top of Mt.Kurodake and Mt.Ponkurodake so beautiful red.
Some are mad red, some are red and orange mixed color.
They are amazing.

“Sorbus matsumurana” at northeast slope of Mt.Kurodake ~Ohatidaira is turning red a little. (Compering with last post 8/27)
But most of them are still green.

On the whole all plant’s leaves are tuning from green to yellow green.

This year’s autumn leaves are moving a little faster than last year.
But it is ok.
We hope we can see these beautiful autumn leaves for a long time.
