Alpine plants are blooming along the Mt. Aka course trail near Komakusadaira and Daiyon Sekkei;
however, they have not yet reached full bloom. On the other hand, there are many flowers nearing full bloom around the peak. In particular, blooming Diapensia lapponica subsp. obovata are spreading out all over the peak.
Among the other alpine plants, the Dryas octopetala var. asiatica, Viola crassa subsp. borealis, and Lagotis yesoensis are also quite lovely now.
