Although it is true that the snow is melting, we are still in early June.
Accordingly, the faces of Mt. Kurodake remain almost completely covered with snow.
Only the very top of the snow depth pole at the 8th Station (right photo) can be seen.
The weather forecast predicts that days of warm temperatures will continue, and therefore melting will progress with each passing day.
However, the surface of the snow on this slope freezes in the mornings and evenings, and thus care is required when ascending and descending.
Caution should also be exercised during times of poor visibility.
