and the mountain ash with red berries.

Here are the last bunch of the pictures taken on the hike to Mt. Nyuutou.
These were taken from Mt. Yumori to Mt. Nyuutou via Mt. Zarumori.
Especially, around Mt. Zarumori, you can see more dense red colors.
I couldn't stop taking pictures and kept taking pictures in practically every second!

These were taken on the trail through Mt. Sasamori, Mt. Yumori and Mt. Zarumori.
