Hama-rikyu Gardens

``Nanohana``




My family and I  went to visit the Hama-rikyu Gardens last weekend and I can definitely say that it was worth our long drive from Susono to Chuo-ko Tokyo, just to experience this exquisite one of a kind flower which is called Nanohana or Rapeseed flower in English. When the Nanohana starts to bloom it means Spring is already here in Japan. 

From a distance, you will see the field of rapeseed. There was a strange smell of minty and I could hardly explain what it is.Nanohana blooms in early Spring. It would very beautiful if the Nanohana and Sakura or the Cherry Blossoms bloom together.


Nanohana at the heart of the City of Chuo-ko Tokyo.
I never thought I would have experienced this kind of garden at the heart of the City, but yes, the Japanese are very good at preserving nature. A good place to recommend to my family and friends who would love to visit Japan in the early Spring.



A closer look of Nanohana.
 As I was trying to understand its smell it leaves a powder mark on my face and I didn't even recognize it while I was taking selfies not until my husband told me. I  guess I'd look funny if he didn't notice the yellow powder on my face.



Sorry about the crumpled paper after our trip to Hama-rikyu Gardens I wasn't able to put it inside my bag and my son played with it. This picture shows the access and guide to the Garden.

Kawazu Bagatelle Park or the Jardin de Bagatelle

"Jardin de Bagatelle" Last Summer in Japan the weather was really hot, it's humid and stifling but the feeling of having my parents with us is so much more heart igniting. Wandering around in one of the best flower gardens I have ever visited so far last year, the Kawazu Bagatelle Park or "Jardin de Bagatelle", it is known to be the sister park of Jardin de Bagatelle of Paris, France, it was established on the 28th of April 2001.  This symmetric  French-style rose garden was calculated thoroughly which makes it more look fancy, 18th century inspired. Looking back to my wanderlust experience. Buds begin to flower adding the splash of color, the cheeping sparrows invade the garden looking for juicy grubs and shiny seeds as the light leaks. The butterflies are like having a party. I can see them all around.The smell of the roses is like sweet scents that register to someone who smells it and luckily I'm one of them. To me it's like an enchant...

Vibrant Tulips under the Cherry Blossoms

Hamamatsu Flower Garden One of the most breathtaking gardens I have visited in Spring this year is the Hamamatsu Flower Garden. We arrived exactly lunch time so we had to eat something before starting our tour and of course, I wouldn't let my son skip lunch, although he is breastfed. The foods are very delicious and affordable at their café and their matcha vanilla ice cream is the best. They also have a souvenir shop where you can buy something you might like to bring home. As we were about to explore the garden suddenly it rained and we aren't even prepared for an umbrella, but watching the cherry blossoms falling with the rain is more entertaining, it's like what I saw in movies for real. My son also enjoyed the rain he's running around or even dancing, while my husband enjoyed watching us. The garden actually provides umbrella if you don't have one so you can just go back to the information area and grab one. The rain only lasted 15 minutes and then the sun ...

Summer view of Mount Fuji in La Hall

Summer in Mount Fuji This photo was taken last year's summer season in La Hall Fuji. I was on the fifth floor when I get the chance to capture this photo. It was Sunday and a good season to feel warm not only by the weather but also by the Word of God. Feeling refreshed and blessed by the Pastor's sermon. I call this picture vanilla coated Fuji.
