On Sun, October 14, starting from Aomori Airport I got out of a taxi
at Villa-city Moya,
and changed to JR bus, and via the foot of Mt. Hakkoda
I got off at Yachi spa, where I stayed.
JR bus passed along the place exceeding the altitude of 1000m,
the trees
around there had already shed leaves and assumed an aspect of early winter.
Yachi spa located at the foot of Mt. Hakkoda was at the peak of autumnal
leaves.
I will show you the photograph from Kayano-chaya(resting house) bus
stop (north side of Mt. Hakkoda).
The slight colored autumnal scenery can
be observed at the mountain side.

Yachi spa is located at the south foot of Mt. Takada-Ohdake, mountain
chains of Hakkoda,
and as for its history it is said more than 400 years
have passed since opening business.
When I got off the bus at Yachi spa,
I was genially welcomed by yellow leaves of Minekaede (Acer tschonoskii).
The following shows Mt. Takada-Ohdake, one of mountain chains of Hakkoda
seen from Yachi spa
on the morning of the 15th.
The following shows the moment when the clouds broke.
The last photograph shows Tsuta spa.
