Mt. Kurodake’s northeastern face

* Mt.Kurodake snow gorge is 3m after passing 7th station sign.
But hikers walk on the snow only 1m.
In a few days it will be gone.
From 7th station flowers start to bloom gradually.
Around 9th station to the top
Trollius riederianus and Weigela middendorffiana
bloom in community and are best time to see.
(but Weigela middendorffiana starts to wither a little )

The other flowers ( more than 40 species) starts to bloom.
Now Mt.Kurodake is called Flower Garden.
  • Trollius riederianus : The communities have spread out even more.

  • Weigela middendorffiana : The flowers have formed communities and continue to be beautiful; however, some wilting has become noticeable recently.
