Tsugaike Nature Park / Sunny2022.Jul.01
The TSUGAIKE Outdoor Village is set to open on 7/15 (Fri.)! The new outdoor area will make use of the wide-open skiing slopes by offering standard camping sites in the LANTERN CAMPING FIELD TSUGAIKE, as well as glamping utilizing European-style camping trailers in the GLAMPING FIELD TSUGAIKE zone. The Outdoor Village will make an excellent base camp for the adjacent Hakuba Tsugaike WOW!, Tsugaike ropeway, dog run and golf center.

The unblemished blue sky of early morning began to fill with clouds as the day progressed, and by the time I arrived at the Watasuge Shitsugen (pictured) the sun was moving in and out of the clouds, alternately casting sun and shade across the Nature Park. The snow remaining in the vicinity of Fuketsu has now shrunk to a small section of around 50 meters. The white flowering Mizubasho are now past their peak and the Mizubasho Shitsugen is starting to come alive with a variety of other flowers such as Ryukinka and Kobaikeiso.

The small white flowers of the deciduous shrub known as Chinguruma (pictured) were blooming in large numbers alongside the wooden boardwalk running through the Watasuge Shitsugen, along with splashes of delicate pink Iwakagami blossoms. Over at the Ukishima Shitsugen, Iwa-icho, Shinano Kinbai and Kobaikeiso were in peak bloom.

Within an hour cloud coverage had spread across the entire sky, blanketing out the sun. I spoke with a male hiker who commented, “The mountains are unfortunately covered in clouds, but I’m happy that I’ve been able to get some nice photographs of the flowers.” The cool air that began to flow across the Nature Park was enough to make me almost forget about the extreme heat affecting the world below.
