Hakuba Iwatake / Sunny2016.Oct.08
The Autumn tints are coming down from the upper part, but the trees have just start to change the color in the summit area of Iwatake (1,289 meters). We could see the mountains turning into red and yellow from Northern Alps View Deck. Today, the quite clear sky spread out around 11:00 a.m.

More and more people came to the summit area from 10:00 a.m. There are some items, such as Slacklines and hammocks good for families in the beech forest. Both of them are available for free.

In the dog run in the east part from Sky Arc, dogs were running cheerfully. It has an enough space for dogs to run around and play. There is another dog run in East Area which has much bigger space.

It was much cooler in Nezuko-no-mori Forest and the temperature was 15 degrees, so I did not get sweaty during walking around. The trees of Nazuko are resident to cold, but grow very slowly. When the trees are used as timbers, the over 200-year-old trees are chosen usually.

Fortunately, the trees hardly have had damages by the 18th typhoon, Chaba. The most of leaves still remained green and only a little of them started to change the color. The leaves will turn into red and yellow beautifully in the coming peak season.
