    Mt. Iwaki in Hirosaki, Aomori was colored in three colors: white, red, and green on the morning of October 19.

    Mt. Iwaki is an independent peak with an altitude of 1625 meters, and is also called Tsugaru Fuji because the shape of the peak is symmetrical and resembles Mt. Fuji. The three colors of the mountain are white of snow, red of autumn leaves, and green of trees. It is a phenomenon that can be seen in autumn, and the condition is that it is covered with snow on the autumn leaves.

    The first snowfall on Mt. Iwaki this year was October 17, four days earlier than normal and 19 days earlier than last year. On the 17th and 18th, when the Aomori Local Meteorological Observatory announced that it was covered with snow, clouds remained near the summit, making it impossible to see the entire view of Mt. Iwaki from the city of Hirosaki. It was fine from the morning on the 19th, and Mt. Iwaki, a three-color gradation, appeared.

    In Hirosaki on the 19th, the maximum temperature rose to 17 degrees Celsius, and it became as warm as normal. The snow near the top of the mountain began to melt in the afternoon.
