Rose garden in a mountain, Atami, Shizuoka - Japan

Hello!♡
Updating this blog is always exciting!


Recently, I travelled down to the coast in Shizuoka to see
the "only" jacaranda flower in mainland Japan.

Apparently there are a few in Miyazaki in Kyushu
and these are the only places in Japan that can grow jacaranda trees.


Beautiful color isn't it?
I adore blue hydrangeas too, but this is a bit outstanding.


I was taking photos of everything then -
a man walking his dog talked to me and told me about jacaranda trees.

They have been growing a lot more trees of jacaranda along the beach
but they are still small and some has flower but most don't yet.

Atamiiii! Tropical peninsula! Gogogo :)
You can do it!


Bloom!
It's apparently the best to visit Atami in End of June-Mid July to watch jacaranda.
They bloomed earlier this year though. This was the only tree in full bloom.


There is a herb and rose garden in a mountain in Atami
where you can overlook at the sea from above.


 I thought rose season has ended long ago,
but it was really impressive how they maintain all kind of flowers.


One of the most beautiful gardens I have visited recently.



Didn't expect my dress to fit in so well here.


The colors are so instagrammic aren't they?
The rose garden is open from April to July.
I am unsure what they showcase the rest of the year
but it is really worth traveling up here♡




Rose everywhere♡
