Hamarikyu Gardens



Hama-rikyu Gardens

Enjoying a  very nice walk from the flower garden to Nakajima-Bashi. Experiencing the Edo era and the remains after the war a very long time ago. This was the nobles favorite place. It has been reconstructed and was open to the public. Now it is a cultural heritage a special place of "Scenic beauty and Historic site. The bridge from the tea house was said to be 118m long that connects Kono-Ji Shima with Nakajima and was made from "hinoki", a Japanese cypress. It is the best place to find solitude from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can also try their powdered green tea and Japanese sweets. There are a lot of tourists who came to visit. It was a long queue at the tea house a lot of people wanted to stop by and have some dose of tea to relax from the cold weather. Some get the chance to have a glimpse of the Tokyo Tower from a hill. My son enjoyed walking around and stops if we cross a small pond or river to see if there's any fish. The Kamoba (Duck hunting site) is also interesting. And I really do think it's a good place to take a walk not only you can see the flowers from the garden, have some tea but also you'll get the chance to see the cities famous bridges like Tsukiji Bridge and Rainbow Bridge. If you want a short trip around Tokyo they have Waterbus Cruise no need ticket reservations.

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 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.
