行者登山道に見られる動植物


行者登山道は植物の豊富な場所です。登山道沿いに、ブナ、ミズナラの高木やイタヤカエデ、ウリハダカエデ、ヤマヤナギなどを見ることができます。春には新緑、秋には紅葉と、大山を取り囲む広大な森は1年を通じて美しい風景を見せてくれます。大山は野鳥の楽園でもあります。キビタキ、オオルリなどの夏鳥や、ヤマガラ、ヒガラなどの留鳥は、山で見つけられる100以上の種類の鳥のほんのわずかです。様々な小型哺乳類や陸産貝のほか、1000種以上の昆虫も大山に生息し、生態系を形成しています。

Wildlife and Vegetation Along the Gyoja Mountain Trail


The Gyoja Mountain Trail runs through a forest that includes beech trees, Mongolian oaks (Quercus crispula Blume), painted maples (Acer pictum Thunb.), redvein maples (Acer rufinerve), and willows (Salix sieboldiana Blume). This vast forest is beautiful throughout the year, from green leaves in spring to colorful foliage in autumn. Mt. Daisen is a sanctuary for wild birds. More than 100 species have been recorded on the mountain, including summer breeders such as the narcissus flycatcher (Ficedula narcissina) and blue-and-white flycatcher (Cyanoptila cyanomelana), and residents like the varied tit (Parus varius) and the coal tit (Periparus ater). Many small mammals, land snails, and over 1,000 species of insects live on Mt. Daisen, forming a rich biodiversity and stable ecosystem.
