I recently climbed Mt. Apoi on May 29 (Wed) on behalf of an ongoing project.

I almost missed it, but I saw the Apoi-kuwagata flower.

As for the project, I hope to update you all very soon. Please look forward to it.

A new signboard was installed in front of the Mt. Apoi Geopark Visitor Center announcing the new Hidaka Mountains Erimo Tokachi National Park designation.

Don't forget to check out the map of all national parks in Hokkaido and the map of Geoparks in Japan.

Edo Yama-tsutsuji (Rhododendron kaempferi) and Nanakamado (Japanese rowan) are in bloom around Mt. Apoi Foothill Park and the Geopark Visitor Center. Mt. Apoi is becoming more crowded with climbers on the weekend.
