D:Fukihara no ike Pond course

∆Fukihara no ike Pond
Fringe bells, alpine roses, Murasaki-ootsutsuji and gentians comes into bloom in the spring; maple and Betula ermanii leaves turn red and yellow in the fall. Fukihara no ike pond, a habitat for damselflies and forest green treefrogs, is truly mysterious. Watch your step as the area around Sesshogawara has a lot of slipperly ups and downs.
