Hydrangeas

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.

Citizens’ Interaction Center – Navel Mitsuke

Hi! I went to take a look at the Umbrella Sky inside Navel Mitsuke located in Mitsuke city, Niigata prefecture! It was on June 22nd, 2024. The weather was sunny and a little hot even in a T-shirt. I heard that this Umbrella Sky got some attention from the mass media in 2023 and will be on display this year as well, so I got there looking forward to it. I am going to upload the umbrellas first because I forgot to take a picture of the outside of the building.
Fireflies

Iwamuro Onsen Hiyotsuma Fireflies Festival

Hello there! This time I took part in Iwamuro Onsen Hiyotsuma Fireflies Festival taking place in Niigata city and viewed fireflies! It was on June 22nd, 2024. The weather was sunny and a little hot even in a T-shirt. I got there past 7 p.m. because they say the fireflies are more active from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.! Hiyotsuma Fireflies Festival will be running from June 22nd to July 7, 2024! On arriving at a parking lot nearby, I walked for about 10 minutes to the place where we get to see the fireflies.
