Regarding the status of the hiking trails on Sentsuzan
- The current flowering status of the dogtooth violets on Sentsuzan(As of April 24)The snow has melted on all course, but the meltwater makes the ground slippery.
Dogtooth violets often bloom just before the summit, just beyond the junction with the hiking trail.
The flowers at the top still have many buds, so they will probably be in full bloom around the end of April.
This year, the flowers are blooming about a week later than last year.(Last year, it bloomed around April 14th.)
It is possible to drive from Hinokamiso to the trailhead, but the road is narrow in places.
Parking space is limited so we ask that you carpool whenever possible.
The parking lot at Hinokamiso is exclusively for facility users.
Please refrain from using the parking lot for anyone other than users.
