Uwappara Cosmos Park

Hello everyone! The other day, I visited Uwappara Cosmos Park located in Uonuma city, Niigata prefecture, Japan, literally to see cosmoses. It was on September 28th, cloudy and the temperature was just perfect. I took pictures while taking the weather into consideration because it was hazy and drizzling on and off. In my opinion, they were blooming by 50% and you will get to see them blooming fully in 10 days or so. Well then, I am going to share the pictures of the cosmoses first.
