Conifer grove on the Nakatsuna-ko lakeside

            Mizunara oak was the dominant tree species in the Azumino Valley including the area of Nishina Three Lakes (仁科三湖). They are seen in the background of the conifer grove and in the lower-right by the shore.

Conifer trees like Sugi (Japanese cedar - dark green) and Karamatsu (Japanese larch - deciduous trees with straight trunk) were planted in the 1950s and 1960s under a government initiative to cope with the shortage of construction materials for houses. 

Public opinions on this government initiative is increasingly negative these days as Japanese cedar causes pollen allergy. They now look old enough for harvest. They, however, look beautiful.

I cannot identify the species of the light green conifer trees near the centre. It may be Akamatsu (Japanese red pine, Pinus densiflora).
