Birdwatching in Mt. Fuji (June 12, 2025)

 There is a watering hole at Okuniwa-so, located at the 5th station of Mt. Fuji, where you can see subalpine birds up close. Eurasian Bullfinch, Goldcrest, Japanese Leaf Warbler, Red-flanked Bluetail, and other birds came to the watering hole one after another.

Birdwatching in Oku-Nikko (April 30, 2025)

 I saw Japanese Robins in Okunikko last year, so I went looking for them in late April. Unfortunately, they had not yet arrived, so I was unable to confirm any Japanese Robins. However, I was able to see many Brown-headed Thrushes and Red-flanked Bluetails.
