Upper area of Goshikigahara

Looking at Goshikigahara as a whole, the snow has only just melted, so the flowers are not blooming together. However, communities of just blooming Lagotis yesoensis can be seen at the top. Just prior to the forest road’s closure in 2010, the boardwalk was covered with bamboo grass and very difficult to walk on. However, the grass has been well cut back and the boardwalk is now much easier to walk on. I would like to thank the organizations concerned for their hard work
in making this possible.
