Golden autumn foliage surrounds Midagahara Marsh’s small ponds at the 8th station of Mt. Gassan, a famous peak spanning Yamagata Prefecture’s Tsuruoka, on Thursday.
The yellowing grasslands provide a stunning contrast along the 2-kilometer wooden path that winds through the marsh. According to the Gassan visitor center, the best time to see the foliage is now until early October. A 65-year-old woman from Utsunomiya said, “I was able to escape the lingering summer heat and feel the early arrival of autumn.”
