The hut on the top of Mt. Kumotori.
Today's course:
Mt. Kumotori (6:00) - Mt. Nanatsuishi (7:30) - Mt. Takamaru (8:15) - Mt. Hikage-naguri-hou (9:20) - Mt. Takanosu (10:30) - Nippara (13:50) - Higashi Nippara BS (14:50) - bus - JR Okutama Sta. - Moegi-no-yu hot spring.
This morning the summit of Mt. Kumotori was covered with clouds. The temprature was about 4 degrees. We couldn't get any clear view almost all the way to Mt. Nanatsuishi, but we found quite a few of Viola hirtipes (Sakura Sumire) flowers. We found this kind of violet for the first time. We picked some Pteridium aquilinum (Warabi) sprouts. You can't eat them raw, but it tastes pretty good after cooking properly.

It looked different from the day before.

Larch young leaves with dew.
Mt. Takamaru.

Viola hirtipes (Sakura Sumire).
It is hairy in side of the flower, and you can't usually see the inside of the flower.

We found some bigger ones hiding under the leaves of Ligularia dentata (Marubadakebuki).
I wonder that they like to grow at such a place because deer don't eat Ligularia dentata (Marubadakebuki).

The leave stem has lots of hair.

Mt. Takanosu.
Pretty steep way continued from the summit of Mt. Takanosu to Nippara.
We saw quite a few people comming up to Mt. Takanosu, but I wouldn't even try this trail to go up...
The trail was pretty hard, but the forest was really amazing.
Acer japonicum (Hauchiwa-kaede).
Fagus crenata (Buna, Japanese Beech).
The rock named Inamura-iwa.
