May 6, 2000. The Moor Koigakubo in spring Tessei, Okayana Prefecture. I went the Moor Koigakubo in Tessei-cho, which locates northwest of Okayama prefecture at the beginning of May. People call it like "Oze marsh in the west" (Oze is the biggest moor in Japan that lies in the east.) and is one of the natural monuments. You can see many kinds of moor flowers in its high season, July and August. Ryukin-ka flowers, which belong to the buttercup family, were at their best then.

	The beginning of the Moor Koigakubo.		The circumference of the moor is 2.4 km, you see artificial wooden road around it.
	Ryukin-ka flowers in the buttercup family.		They are azaleas and andromedas.
	Violets are in bloom too though they are not hydrophytes.
