Mt. Iizuna.

I went to climb Mt. Iizuna last weekend though we didn't have nice weather. Sep 15 is Aged People's Day and also national holiday in Japan. I really wanted to go somewhere in such a day.

I was so fascinated to find many kinds of beautiful flowers this time (this is the 3rd time I climbed Iizuna this year).

I chose a route from Togakushi Chusha and this made me lucky to see many flowers. About an hour later than walking under conifer forests, you got out to the field of flowers.

I would be glad if you enjoy to see my pictures below.


Many 'Oyama rindo' along the route. This flower is The flower of Nagano-ken.
