  • Mt.Shirane and Dicentra group

    It is called “the queen of alpine plants” because it grows in a harsh environment where no other plants can grow.

    The name of the flower comes from the shape of the flower resembling a horse's face.

    The Dicentra group of Mt.Motoshirane is in full bloom from early July to late July.
