Re: Gregariously Blooming Yellow Flowers at around Lake Yogo

Until I came back to my hometown, I had never known that there is such a special spot where that gorgeous yellow flowers grow in clusters and bloom from late Apr. to the middle of May, at around Lake Yogo. They also say that the academic name of the flower is “Senecio Pierotii” (サワオグルマ草), and a field the flowers gregariously grow is quite rare. So, I’d been eagerly looking forward to meeting the opportunity just from a start of spring. Yes, the lily wild grasses never betrayed my expectation. The flowers might be regretting for all the brave losses at Shizugatake war (賤ヶ岳合戦), which was fought at around the time of year.

Keisoku-ji was re-built by the Venerable, Saicho (767-822 AD), and named after footmarks of a chicken left on accumulated snow.

Though the temple became deserted now, the breath-taking beauty of hundreds of colored leaves attracts so many people just like the old days.
