Promenade au Mont Asuwa en Automne
Par Coline Giroud
I knew there is a hiking trail called 'Ajisai Road (hydrangea path)' on Mt. Asuwa, but didn't know the hydrangea is a flower symbol of Fukui City. Also, even though I walked there many times before, I'd never seen hydrangeas along the path, since it wasn't a season for them when I went (poor timing!). So, I was quite surprised to find so many hydrangeas on this mountain - about 6,000 spread across it. The trail is not steep, so it's an easy climb up to the top of the mountain and you can enjoy a casual hike while appreciating beautiful flowers on the way.
