One of the photos shows the view of the Daisetsuzan peaks as seen from Kamikawa Park in Kamikawa Town.
The temperature has been climbing these past few days and the mountains’ rocky slopes have become visible.
However, at Mt. Kurodake’s 7th Station, the snow is still 430 cm deep.
The snow is melting rapidly, but there is still so much of it.
Last year, snow fell through the Golden Week holidays even in the flatlands. However, this year is different, as the rise in temperature has been remarkable.
Undoubtedly some people are planning to enter the mountains during the holidays. I do hope they will take extra precautions against avalanches.
In the flatlands, however, conditions are becoming more spring-like all the time.
The other photo shows the great degree to which populations of blooming Corydalis fumariifolia subsp. azurea have grown.
