📍 Susoaidaira|Hokkaido, Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group
A superb view of flowers with a short life that can only be seen in summer. When you start walking from the pond, you will feel as if you have wandered into a flower garden in the sky.
At the foot of Mt. Asahidake, where more than 1,600 Meter Elevation remains of snow, alpine plants such as chinguruma bloom all over the place.
It was 🌿 a quiet and gentle time that made my heart suddenly lighten
👉 This is a photo I took yesterday. It was truly breathtaking.
