Tsugaike Nature Park / Sunny2021.Sep.19
We had a beautiful clear day today on Sep. 19 (Sun) after the 14th typhoon. It has been cooler by about 1 degree than the usual recently, so 40-50% of the leaves already started to change themselves into the autumn colors around Ukishima Marsh. The red leaves gave a good accent in the face of Ushirotateyama Renpo Peaks where we could find many yellow trees (Photo).

Some of Nanakamado (Red, Photo), Ookamenoki (Red), Kaede (Yellow and Orange) and Dakekanba (Yellow) change the colors faster than the others. Generally, the leaves of Nanakamado had many damages but those of Kaede were fine this year. Talking about the flowers, we just found Oyamarindo and Torikabuto in Mizubasho and Ukishima Marsh.

Especially, the panoramic view of the nature park from Yase-one (Photo) was so impressive. The staff of Visitor Center told that the peak of the autumn tints will come in the first and second week of October. By the way, our reporter guessed it would come earlier, around the end of September.

While I was in the nature park, the typical cool air was so refreshing. Now, it is recommended to bring a long sleeve shirt or light jacket because the temperature goes down to almost 10 degrees in the morning. The cool weather helps us to take a comfortable walk without getting sweaty and cool us down easily.
