2025 Muramatsu Park Cherry Blossom Festival

Hey guys! What’s up? This time I went to Muramatsu Park located in Gosen city, Niigata prefecture, Japan, to see cherry blossoms 😀 It was on April 14th, 2025. It was a sunny day. This is a famous park selected for “Japan’s Top 100 Places for Cherry Blossoms,” and approximately 3000 cherry blossom trees brighten the spring gracefully. Not only the cherry blossoms but also hepaticas, azaleas, hydrangeas and so on come into bloom, so it is also known as “Park of Flowers.” Well then, first off, I am going to share with you guys the pics of the cherry blossoms in the twilight.

Hyoko Suikin Park

Hello there! This time I visited Hyoko Suikin Park situated in Suibara, Agano city, Niigata prefecture! It was on November 3rd, 2024. Cloudy, windy and a bit chilly. Hyoko is famous as a stopover for swans and one of the Ramsar Sites. I arrived there at around 9 am and the swans had already left for the rice fields around this lake, looking for something to eat. Without further ado, I am going to share the pictures of waterfowls swimming in this lake first.
