Visitor Center Report

At northwest of Mt.Kurodake Betula ermanii and Weigela middendorffiana turn to yellow.
With red leaves of Sorbus matsumurana (Makino) Koehne autumn leaves is very good time to see.
In the direction of Kumonotaira and the direction of Hokkaisawa leaves turn to deep red and deep yellow.
Whole mountains are like being on fire.
Soon leaves will start to defoliate.
We really worry about typoon.

Sorbus matsumurana (Makino) Koehne and Betula ermanii at Ginsendai is almost the best time to see.
This season both trees changed their leaves same time,and their leaves are really bright and deep color.
When you visit , don’t forget to bring your glaves and cap because the temperature is really cold.

Last report we said “this weekend will be nice to see”.
But today half of leaves change color in Midorinuma marsh and Takiminuma marsh.
In Daigakunuma marsh and Kougennuma marsh 30 % ~40% leaves change color.
This weekend Midorinuma marsh and Takinuma marsh will be the best to see.
If you see Daigakunuma marsh and Kougennsh’ autumn leaves, please wait next weekend.
The shuttle bus starts to service from September 21th.
The road is very narrow and gravel road.
Parking around Kougen Onsen Sansou doesn’t have enough space.
When there are many users, please share with others.
Be careful to drive when you do there.

From Ginsendai to Mt.Akadake
On all trails we can see beautiful autumn leaves.
We recommend Daini kaen and Daisan sekkei are the best!
In a few days weather is not so good.
Take care yourself and bring something warm to wear, you can have a great time.

On Mt.Midoridake trail
From Daiichi hanabatake to Daini hanabatake leaves change their color
That is nice and beautiful.
On “Tasukino Kouyou” autumn leaves (Sorbus matsumurana) is the best time to see
