Snowy gorges on the Mt. Aka course

Mt. Akadake snow Report
Route Ginsendai opened ,hikers can climb “Akadake”direction.
Since this spring it has been cold ,so snow is melting later than average year .
I think there is a lot of remaining snow this year.
Walking from the forest administrative office,
There is remaining snow ,and snow cover the trekking road here and there.
“the first garden” “the second garden” “the third snow gorge”ow gorge
“the forth snow gorge” are all covered with snow.
The snow gorge’slope is not so hard to climb.
But if hikers are not used to walk on the snow,
Bring your crampons.
