Castles

Hello there! I went to Takada Castle Site Park located in Joetsu city, Niigata prefecture. Because a lotus festival has been held in this park, I went there out of curiosity. It was August 3rd, 2024, sunny and hot. Since lotus flowers bloom only in the morning, many people came to this place in the morning in case they missed the golden time. Lotuses here in this park are said to rank first in Asia both in the scale and the beauty, and I was convinced by viewing them with my eyes that this is true. I could say "holy crap, it's too spacious! lol." It was so vast that I was overwhelmed. August in Japan is pretty hot and I just walked around the park for 30 minutes in case I got a heat stroke.
