The leaves are approaching their most beautiful time here as well.
In particular, the leaves around the Ohachidaira Crater are coloring splendidly.
*The coloring has progressed quickly this year, and as of today is about one week ahead of last year’s pace. It is about two weeks ahead of the yearly average.
*Although the sun did come out now and then, dense fog was persistent throughout most of the day. There were also times of rain and wind in the afternoon. With the fall foliage being very beautiful now, many people climb wearing only light clothing. However, the weather in the mountains is very changeable in this season. Climbers are asked to bring everything they need to climb safely. (I saw some climbers wearing light clothing who unfortunately got caught in the rain. They seemed very cold.)
