Stream crossing on the Numanohara trail

Upon descending back down to the stream after following the winding trail along its right bank from the trailhead, I found that the bridge of large Picea jezoensis logs that previously stood there has been washed away. I was therefore forced to cross the flowing water by stepping on stones.
Crossing may be difficult when the water rises, so it is probably best to check the weather report before starting out.
