As shown as a picture, leaves are becoming autumn color.
Looking up from the bottom, it looks more beautiful than Mt.Kurodake.
We don’t know how leaves is because we just look from a distance.
It is a good start for autumn leaves.
As same as Mt.Kurodake from this weekend it will be cold.
We must look leaves carefully.

Mt,Kurodake autumn leaves report
It has been very hot since last week.
We went to Mt.Kurodake on Sep. 1st and 4th.
But it wasn’t changed.
We didn’t post.
Even so it is getting cold in the morning and at night.
Green leaves are turning autumn color gradually.
Today we went to see leaves, coloring is getting better.
Particularly leaves around Manekiiwa at the 9th station of Mt.Kurodake and the top of Mt.Kurodake to both sides of Akaishi river are becoming more beautiful than last post.

But most of leaves are “green” or “yellow green”.
It’s like red and orange stains in green leaves.
“Arctous alpina var. japonica” is best time to see.
Some of plants turned red earlier than another plans, now they are getting black.
There are many leaves around there.
So for a while we will see beautiful autumn leaves.

Weather forecast says that temperature stays high because of big typhoon.
We will see how temperature and weather go on.

Today it was extremely hot. It was 20°c at 7th station of Mt.Kurodake.
We are worry that high temperature makes leaves burn.

(Later of this week temperature will go down. On Sep.14th it will be 3°c!!!
This temperature is just a forecast! )

Mt.Kurodake autumn leaves report
Last post was August 28th, leave’s color has little bit change.
But we think it’s almost same as last post.
“Arctous alpina var. japonica” that is around the top of Mt.Kurodake and Mt.Ponkurodake is really beautiful red.
Soon it will expand the range and become thick.

“Sorbus matsumurana” that is around north-west slope of Mt.Kurodake and Akaishi river and Kumonodaira is turning red and orange.
On the whole, it is almost green.
Comparing with last year’s post (2019.9.2), “Arctous alpina var. japonica” is same as last year, “Sorbus matsumurana” is 2～3days later.

Next week temperature will stay high.
We think Mountainous area won’t rise high temperature as bottom of mountains.
If temperature stays high as expected, it will be late to see autumn leaves.

Today weather forecast says that it is sunny.
But it was cloudy and foggy and rainy at mountainous.
Mountain weather is changeable.
If temperature stays high, green leaves might be burned by sunshine.
