Yunosawa Pass, Yamanashi (May 5th)

 

 Enemion raddeanum (Chichibu Shirokane-sou).

Tiny hint of pink on the white petals was so cute!

   I took the first train to Kai-yamato Sta. and took the taxi I had reserved the night before.

This was my first time to walk on this trail from Yunosawa Pass area.

On the way to the pass, I followed the trail by the creak and found quite a few of Enemion raddeanum (Chichibu Shirokane-sou) flowers.

  After I got to the ridge, I enjoyed the nice view of Mt. Fuji and South Alps.  And I found several kinds of birds including Erithacus akahige (Komadori, or Japanese Robin), which I saw for the first time.
