The snow is melting from the peak to before Ishimuro.
It is melting quite fast particularly at Ishimuro. This is in contrast to last year.
I should note that the caretaker will begin removing frozen snow and making other preparations for climbers from the middle of the month and will be stationed there from June 20. (For more information, please call Rinyu Kanko: 01658-5-3031.)
Of course, it is still early June.
It will be a while before Hakucho no Sekkei (swan-shaped snowy gorge) appears.
