They have no water.
The caretakers bring snow and crush it and melt,make water.
But that is a little.
When climbing, bring water, please.
*Do not leave garbage, please. We find many garbage on the trail.
The patrol people repair the trail. That is really hard work.
Please help them to bring garbage to home.

We had frost at Ishimuro hut.
The temperature was under 10°c.
So around Mt.Ponkurodake the plants like “Sorbus matsumurana” and ” Arctous alpina var. japonica” started to turn red.
But today’s morning temperature was 11°c, very warm.
Depends on the weather autumn color won’t start early.
*Today was really hot. We worry about heatstroke.
But the weather in the mountain is easy to change, sometimes on the summit we meet strong wind, rain.
Please take something warm to wear.
