Scenery of Misakubo in early summer 2004

We went up to mountains of Sakuma/Misakubo area on May 29 and June 5th.
It was so fine that day that green color of the mountains was vivid and clear.
We drove super forest road from Akiha shrine to Yamazumi shrine, about 1000 meter above sea level.
Passing through the forest road by car, driving or stopping the car we enjoyed observing maples.
