| ♦ | The best season for viewing the flowers at the Mt. Hanami has come. |
| ♦ | Last year, this mountain was closed in order to cure vegetation. Therefore, it was first time after the disaster that a lot of visitors came to the mountain. At the parking area for the tour buses, there were many buses from Kanto area, Niigata, and etc. |
| ♦ | When I walked to a mountaintop for recording, a visitor said "This mountain is the Mt. Hitomi!" (In Japanese, "Hanami" means "viewing floweres". In a similar way, "Hitomi" means "Viewing people"). However, according to a staff of a shuttle bus company, it was not so crowded compared to Sunday. He also said that there were clearly less visitors than those before the disaster. |
| ♦ | Despite Mt. Hanami is located in Watari, i.e. one of the hottest spots in Fukushima city, I could not find monitoring posts while I walked around the mountain. I think monitoring posts sould be installed at such popular spot. |
