“Therorhodion camtschaticum” is more beautiful than last report.
Because they expanded their reach.

In the last few years it snowed in June, for wild flowers it is not good condition.
This year’s hot temperature in June made wild flower bloom beautifully.

Syousenen hiking course
On July 14th Syousenen course open. (until September 30th)
We went there, let you know about it.
Just after starting, there is a junction to Sanjyusanmagari and to Syousenen.
To go to Sousenen we went straight to forest road.
Walking 30minutes, and crossing the second bridge, on the left we found trail head.
Both side of this trail is covered with bamboo. Bamboo was cut down.
But the trail condition was not so good, muddy and bumpy.(Photo 1)

After walking for an hour in the bamboo woods, we found wooden trail.
That is the best place, “Ninonuma wetland”
The view was so beautiful, you will see Daisetuzan mountain range including Mt.Asahidake and Mt.Aibetudake, Tokachi mountain range.

After wooden trail, we walked trail traversing the mountains.
Walking up near the Yonnonuma, we got to the observation deck.
We could see wetland from a disitance.
From here you will see String-Flark (Kerumi-Schlenke)Complecx Pattern.
This is only place to see in Daisetuzan.

After Yonnonuma observasion deck, walking 40 minutes, we got to Yashima junction.
This is the end of Sousenen course.
Turning left, you go to Sanjyusanmagari ~Aizankei onsen.
Turning right, you do to Rokunonuma. (It takes 30~40minutes for one way.)

Around Kumono taira
“Geum pentapetalum” and ” Phyllodoce caerulea” make a community to bloom partially.
Some flowers that is near the trail are dying.
Some “Geum pentapetalum” have a fluffy.

From a distance these flower is really beautiful.
So if you want to see flowers, rush to Kumonodaira!

Snow just under the junction of Mt.Hokuchindake is melting.
When going down, this trail is very slippery, watch your step.

Today weather forecast said it would be sunny.
But it was almost foggy. (Sometimes it was suuny.)

When it is sunny and hot, you might get heat stroke.
When it is cloudy and windy, you might feel cold at the top.
Prepare your enough gear and go hiking safety.
