In Momijidani, Sounkyo’s popular walking trail, the only snowy gorge remaining on the trail is an approximately two-meter section just before Momijidani Fall at the very end.
The weather forecast predicts rising temperatures for the next few days, so this patch will likely melt soon.
The snow is melting slightly earlier than last year.
Around the valley, Anemone debilis, Anemone flaccid, Viburnum furcatum, Menziesia pentandra, and Viola selkirkii are blooming.
The weather is becoming quite warm, so visitors should take precautions against the heat when walking.
