Autumn leaves about Mt.Akadake, Koizumitaira, Hakuun hut, Mt.Hokkaidake, Hokkaisawa


A place where snow remains relatively late in the season is called a snowpatch.
At a snowpatch “Phyllodoce nipponica Makino” and “Primula cuneifolia Ledeb. var. hakusanensis Makino” are blooming.
Most of plants are going to finish.
“ Gentiana algida f. igarashii”is blooming around Koizumi daira and Hakuun hut.
Last week snow might turn on “Autumn leaves”.
“Arctous alpina var. japonica” growing in wind-blown is starting to turn.
Some “Sorbus matsumurana” turn red.
We think “Autumn leaves” season will visit early.

  • The leaves have turned.

  • Gentiana algida f. igarashii : Flowers are blooming in localized pockets.
