▼We follow the familiar signs towards the marsh.
There is still snow left in the shade.
▼As for Mount Dokaku, I have actually never climbed it.
I think I'll try climbing it next time.
▼Arrived at the marsh!
The snow has completely melted in the sun.
▼It's hard to see in the photo, but there is a large cluster of Dogtooth Violets!
▼Plenty of water.
It feels like spring.
▼There is even this much snow piled up in some shady areas!
If you wear sneakers, you may get wet.
▼It feels like there should be Asian skunk cabbage here, but I've never seen any here.
It's strange that they grow in abundance in the neighboring Himekawa River.
▼It's nice, spring-like weather.
In the main marsh area, only small buds are beginning to appear.
The weather is nice, but it's quite cold.
The temperature difference is extreme.
▼This is a stream that cannot be seen in summer.
Looking at it this way, Oyami Marsh is abundant with water.
▼It's a bleak scene.
From here, the plants compete with each other to grow as we approach summer.
Here's an introduction to the plants and animals we encountered.
▼Dianthus nigricans
It is a small and pretty white flower.
▼ Dogtooth violet
This flower is characterized by its unique purple color and downward-facing flowers.
When I see this, I feel like I've come to Hakuba in spring.
▼They grow in clusters.
▼We also encountered a Japanese grass lizard.
They must have gotten moving as they felt the spring sunshine!
▼A dignified face.
It recognises the camera and is on alert.
Blue Threadfly
It has beautiful wings with black and blue accents.
▼Natural moss ball.
▼ Butterbur Shoots
