At Kujukudani Forest Park in Takagi Kimura, Shimoina-gun, Nagano Prefecture, "Kurin grass" is in Best time to visit!

"Kurinso" is a perennial herb of the primrose family.

The name comes from the fact that the flowers bloom in a circle in many tiers, resembling the "nine rings" at the top of the five-story pagoda.
Pink and crimson flowers bloom in terraces along streams and in wetlands in the mountains, surrounded by deep greenery. Enjoy the cool breeze and Nature full of negative ions while listening to the chirping of birds and the croaking of frogs.
