In Honshu(largest of the four main islands of Japan), skunk cabbages are found in the high-altitude marshlands of Oze, but in Hokkaido we can see them anywhere in the marshlands.As one would expect from Hokkaido! From now on, Hokkaido will be the place where various flowers will start blooming toward summer, regardless of the time of year.
