I visited Ikutopia Shokuhana Kira Kira Garden located in Niigata city. FYI, shoku means eat, hana means flower and kirakira is an onomatopoeia to describe something that glitters.

It was on May 25, 2024.
Newborn baby plants as well as blooming flowers were arranged beautifully!

About 800 rose trees of 130 varieties were at their best and they looked really beautiful!

The roses were full in bloom and giving off sweet fragrance.

I also saw a Japanese garden, Garden of Nagomi! Nagomi means calmness and relaxation. Its beautiful art of sand and stones is called Karesansui, a way of expressing a garden without water. It truly was awesome!
