Kurohime Green Garden, located at the foot of Mt. The 2.5-hectare garden offers 12 varieties of cosmos.

The flowers were in full bloom last week, about a week earlier than usual due to the extremely hot weather. The staff was busy watering the flowers due to the lack of water this year, but the rain over the past few days has increased the vigor of the flowers.

The rain over the past few days has soaked up the water and made the cosmos more colorful. The pinks are especially strong.

The flowers are on the slopes of the slopes, and when you look up from below, you can see the whole area, hence the name “Hitome Million Pines.

And, as is typical of ski resorts, you can use the lift to enjoy viewing the flowers from above as if you were walking in mid-air.

Director Shimizu said, “It is especially beautiful when seen from the lift’s descent line. You can see all of Lake Nojiri. I would like you to see it.

The cosmos garden has a 55-year history and is known as “Kurohime’s cosmos in autumn,” attracting many tourists from within and outside of the prefecture.

In addition to cosmos, dahlias are planted and flowers can be enjoyed until October.
