Kenashitai - Aomori

Wonderful, I want to come again in the autumn colors!

Raised bog Impressive scenery

It passes from Sukayu when going around Odake. This is the Sukayu route for those who want to see it, but as long as people who can go during the autumn leaves are envious. Kenashitai, a series of calls without meaning.

A wetland formed on a flat mountainous area peculiar to the Tohoku region. This place in Hakkoda Mountains is called this way by combining the two completely different and wide marshes on the top and bottom. If you want to classify it. The upper marsh is called "Kenashitai" and the lower marsh is called "Kenashitai". The upper and lower parts are connected by a narrow wooden staircase with about 300 steps on the mountain trail. In addition, the view (view) of Kenashitai from the top of this staircase is the best. Flowers after the snow melts in July, and autumn leaves in late September. Both are must-sees when the weather is fine. Also, the wetlands with light rain and fog are very fantastic, and the taste is exceptional. You can reach Shimo-Kenashitai in about an hour after climbing from Sukayu Onsen. If it's a snowless season, wear sneakers. A wooden path is laid in the marsh. If it is a round trip to Kenashitai, it is okay if it is 3 hours round trip from Sukayu Onsen. Bring water, light meals, and rain gear to and from the venue.

It is a midway point of the circuit course to climb Hakkoda Otake from Sokayu Onsen. In addition, the course that runs through Hamanada from Hakkoda Ropeway summit station and goes down to the direction of Sugayu is called the “Morning Paradise Line”. The standard time required for going down from Sagayu to Joga Onsen is 1 hour 30 minutes. Maonagi is a high-rise wetland where flowers of alpine plants bloom from early summer to summer, and in the autumn the wetland turns into grass foliage and a beautiful landscape is obtained. In particular, the scenery overlooking Shimoge-no-Mura, which is scattered with a pond from the top of a very long tree-lined trail that connects Jomo-no-Momochi, is truly a spectacular view. Visited in summer and autumn, but the hairless season is the best time for autumn leaves. Nishiki, which is composed of green pine trees, yellow leaves of yellow birch and autumn leaves of rowan, is well scattered in the orange colored leaves of the grass. The autumn foliage season around the hairless cocoon is from the beginning of October to the 10th of the normal year, but it is only a few days at the most beautiful time, and even the upper hairless and the lower hairless hair are at their peak. If you are blessed with beautiful autumnal scenery and weather, it will be a lifelong memory.

A place where you can luxuriously enjoy the best part of the high moor. If the weather is nice, it's heaven. From the flower fields in early summer to the autumn leaves in autumn, you can enjoy it with only basic trekking equipment, so if you are a hobbyist walking in the mountains, please take a look with your own eyes.

I visited on Saturday, October 9, 2021. Hakkoda Mountain Ropeway Sancho Koen Station ⇄ It was about 4 hours round trip with Kenashitai. From October, the first train time of the ropeway has changed to 8:30. By the time we arrived at the foot of the mountain station at 8:15, many people were already in line, and we boarded at the beginning of the second flight. There were many people in their 50s and 70s. Although the state of emergency was declared on October 1, I thought it would be great if only Japanese people could come to this place. It was fine from the night before, and the mountain trail should not be muddy! !! I thought, but maybe because of the rain the day before, the spring water was springing up, and the road was in a muddy rice field from the middle. Everywhere sinks to the ankle, so I was glad I wore trekking shoes from the bottom of my heart. I was in my thirties whether or not I had exercised once this year because of my remote work, and speaking of mountaineering, I was a beginner and lacking in exercise at Mt. Takao, Mt. Fuji, and Yakushima in Tokyo. (Climbing enthusiasts are likely to get angry ...) As you can see in the photo, it was a lot harder to walk than Mt. Fuji and Yakushima because of the muddy and muddy roads. In addition, bamboo grass often covers both sides and the front of the road, and I regretted that I cut the back of my hand and said, "If you bring at least work gloves ....". (On the stairs that descended to Kenashitai, the board was slimy and I fell once and my palm was bleeding.) If it were short sleeves and shorts, it would be full of cuts. However, the scenery of Kenashitai, which I had a hard time with, was like another world with beautiful autumn colors, which was one of the best in my life. Looking back down the stairs, I couldn't tell when I was down the stairs to Kenashitai, but there were colorful trees on both sides of the road. If you have a hard time waiting for such a scenery, you can understand why you are addicted to mountain climbing. I turned back to the road that came after the beautiful scenery, but as more people walked, the muddy road increased and the mountain trail turned into a bad road, and I headed for the mountaintop station without having the physical strength to whine. Because I acted in the morning, I thought that the way to go was still better lol By the way, the clothes were trainer, windbreaker, trekking pants, trekking shoes on top of AIRism, but although it was chilly around 9:00, it was hot during mountain climbing and I took off the windbreaker, and this time I brought the ultra light down Was unnecessary. Also, as attached to the photo, on the website of Mt. Hakkoda, the condition of the autumn leaves on the mountaintop was "slightly fallen" and the middle part was "50%". Even if you look at the pictures on the net, I think that Kenashitai will be a little more colored from now on. In addition, Hakkoda Mountain was said to be in full bloom in the autumn leaves forecast on TV in Aomori Prefecture that I saw at the hotel. Personally, on Saturdays and Sundays, I thought it would be best next weekend.

Climb from the starting point of the vertical run of the Japanese mountains in Sukayu to the summit of Otake. When I went down the mountain, it became a little sunny and Kenashitai was very beautiful. When I went down the mountain, I was scared to get off the tree, but Kenashitai was too beautiful and I stopped and looked at it. I want more, but there are many people and it's small, so if I can't keep walking, it will get in the way.
