The Daibosatsu Area, Part 1 (November 3rd)

 

Maple trees were beautiful in the sun.

   We went to Kami Hikawa Pass, which is one of the main entrances to Mt. Daibosatsu.  When we got to the Kai Yamato Sta., there were quite a few people getting off at the station and running for the bus to the pass.
   At the pass, most of the leaves were gone already, so we decided to walk back towards the station.  As we went down to the lower elevation, we found colorful leaves.

 

Miscanthus sinensis (Susuki).

 

There were lots of beautiful larch trees.

Acer japonicum (Hauchiwa Kaede).

 

カラマツやカエデなど、いろんな樹木が混ざっているときれいです。

 

このアザミ、かなり大きかったです。

 

ブナも黄色く色づいていました。

Mt. Fuji 5th Station, Yamanashi (October 20th)

 

Mt. Fuji from near the 5th Station.

    We went to the Subaru Line 5th Station of Mt. Fuji for the first time.  We enjoyed beautiful fall colors and the nice view of Mt. Fuji.

初めて富士山の五合目に出かけてきました。紅葉がばっちり進んでいて、５合目付近のナナカマドは真っ赤に色づいていました。今年はどこも紅葉がきれいみたいですね。

 

You can even enjoy the horse riding from the 5th Station.

Mountain Ash was so beautiful!

 

 

 

こんなに真っ赤なナナカマドも。

 

五合目で売っていたメロンパン。焼き立てで、カリカリふわふわ。

 

ルリビタキ…しばらく道案内してくれました。

 

 

 

Lots of beautiful trees by the Subaru Line.

 

 

 

 

We got wild cranberry jam.  It is so tasty.

５合目から奥庭を経由して３合目まであるきました。

そこで見つけたこけももジャム。お湯で割るとおいしいジュースになります。
