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.

Shibata Iris Festival

This time I visited Ijimino Park located in Shibata city, Niigata prefecture. It was on June 15, 2024 and the weather was sunny. I knew it would be too hot in the daytime, I arrived there in the evening. I was really looking forward to coming here because this iris garden in the park is one of the Four Great Iris Gardens in Japan. Without further ado, I will start with "Masugata" that stands out in the park!
