Fall foliage report for Mt. Kurodake

Mt.Kurodake autumn foliage report.
We often said “the temperature stays higher than as usual.”
Yesterday and today the temperature was 3°c at Kurodake Ishimuro against all expectation.( in a few days the temperature stays high.)

We guessed leaves will color more.
Aucually “Sorbus matsumurana” between the top of Mt.Kurodake and Hokkaizawa and Mt.Hokuchin started coloring.
Compering with last report leaves has not changed very much.
Around ohachidaira autumn foliage is going slowly.

On the other hand the east slope of Mt.Kurodake is coloring more.
A slope of stream near the Manekiiwa is heading to good time to see.
(but the east slope near the summit leaves has not changed as same as last report.

Both side of trail between the top of Mt.Kurodake and Kurodake Ishimuro “Arctous alpina var. japonica” is spreading.
Now is good time to see.

*Akaishi river is calm and the amount of water is less. Hikers can cross the river.
Depends on weather, the situation will change.
Bring you full equipment.
*snow under the junction of Mt.Hokuchin is gone.
When it is foggy, be careful not to get lost. (The sign is new.)
