Watch out, Montaineers!

When you hike up to”Mt .Kurodake”,and the temperature is low,
and surface of snow is hard, you need crampons and ice axe!
Now from top of “Mt.kurodake” to “Isimuro”,we can walk the mountain trail .
But around “kumonodaira” still has much snow.
When you walk in in the fog,
, don’t became lost!

Now is the breeding season for Lepus timidus ainu.
And now is the Molt stage, their fur’s color is changing.

We are worried they are hit by other animals.
We hope they are growing safely.

Animals feel spring has come.
