Similar to the top of Mt.Kurodake, we see some withered” Sorbus matsumurana”.
But seen from a distance, ” Sorbus matsumurana” is turning brightly.
About grass plants like “Geum pentapetalum “, some of them is really red.
But we guess that grass plants will turn red from now.

  • Climb safely by allowing plenty of time.

Autumn leaves information about Mt.Kurodake

In these days the temperature stays low, autumn leaves at Mt.Kurodake are turning red day by day.
From 8th leaves are is getting dark red.
The photo shows today’s morning. (taking from the observation deck on Kamuino morino michi)

This year autumn leaves goes slowly and slowly.
But now the turning color is very quikliy.

The climate is unstable this year.
(out – of – season snow, a long spell of rainy weather, unexpected high temperature, out – of – low temperature, too early snow, extreme wind, heavy rain, hailastone)
This unstable climate have an effect to autumn leaves.
We are worry about withered plants.
We don’t know how autumn leaves is going on, when is the best season to see.
