Mt. Mitake and Mt. Hinode (November 2nd)


Red maple at Mt. Hinode.

We went to Mt. Mitake and then to Mt. Hinode today. It was still a little too early for the fall colors, but we could find lots of Swertia japonica (Senburi) at Mt. Hinode and also practically all the way down to Tsurutsuru Onsen hot spring of Hinode town. This plant used to be used as a stomach medicine because it is really bitter. We also found quite a few Tripterospermum japonicum (Tsuru Rindou) and Gentiana scabra var. buergeri (Rindou).

Tripterospermum japonicum (Tsuru Rindou)
This plant has cute flowers and also lovely red fruits.


Gentiana scabra var. buergeri (Rindou)


Swertia japonica (Senburi)
It is in the same family with Rindou, but the size is much smaller.
Compare with the size of these ants.


Swertia japonica (Senburi)
Cute stary-shaped flowers.


Ainsliaea apiculata (Kikkou Haguma)
This one is also so tiny flower that almost all of the people wouldn't stop to see it. However, it has interesting flower shape.
