Along the Mt. Aka course, the Sieversia pentapetala, Pennellianthus frutescens, Arenaria arctica var. hondoensis, and Therorhodion camtschaticum are forming communities near the peak, though they remain small. On the other hand, the Dicentra peregrina, Viola crassa subsp. borealis, and Cassiope lycopodioides have passed their peak season and are starting to wilt somewhat. At the same time, however, the Primula cuneifolia var. cuneifolia, Rhododendron aureum, and
Harrimanella stelleriana have started to bloom at Daiyon Sekkei, where the snow is continuing to melt, as well as Daisan Sekkei. Flowers will gradually become noticeable in areas where the snow has been melting slowly.
