The Sorbus matsumurana leaves around Mt. Kurodake are still generally green, which makes it hard to declare that the fall foliage season is imminent.
As can be seen in the photo, some of the verdant color has been lost at Kumonotaira; however, the leaves are still generally green.
It may be hard to tell by looking at the photo, but there is also some faint coloring in the leaves at Mt. Kurodake’s 9th Station.
As a result of the recent typhoon, the air around the peak has suddenly changed and the mountain is feeling very autumnal. Even at Kurodake Ishimuro, early morning temperatures are falling into the single digits. Climbers should remember to bring warm clothing.
