Kamikochi Trees

Autumn Trees (Kamikochi) - Japan  2024

Azusa River, Trees (Kamikochi) - Japan  2024

Larches. 

"Known as karamatsu in Japanese, larches are endemic to some of the colder regions in Japan. Every autumn, their needles turn yellow before gradually falling off the trees, and growing back the following year to repeat the cycle anew. They are distinguished from other similar species in that they alone are classified as deciduous conifers. Larches are perhaps the tree most closely associated with Kamikochi in the autumn."
