Echigo Herb Fragrance Park Irihirose

This time I visited Echigo Herb Fragrance Park Irihirose located in Uonuma city, Niigata prefecture. It was June 26, 2024, cloudy and a little hot. I will start with some pictures around the entrance. For some reason, there were almost no other visitors. Well, anyway I will share these beautiful flowers down below that I came across in the garden! Some are familiar to me, some aren't.

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!

Nigorikawa Park

I went to Nigorikawa Park in Niigata city because I heard that there is a rose garden there. In the rose garden, some were in full bloom and some weren't. It was pretty hot on the day, and several caretakers were taking care of the roses while taking a break under the tree nearby.
