The photograph shows Momijidani Valley, a popular walking area in Sounkyo.
In contrast to last year, the amount of snow remaining at the base of the Daisetsuzan mountains this year is extremely small. (There is approximately 50 cm less snow on the ground.)
The photo was taken near the entrance to the valley, and as you can see, there is almost no snow there. However, upon entering the trail, one finds that there is still a lot of snow remaining.
Looking at the forecast, it appears that this year’s melting season will be early, which of course means that visitors will be able to walk on a snow-free trail earlier.
