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♡

Aoyama Flower Market Tea House

Dear lovers♡

Terrible of me that I haven't updated my blog for centuries

My work got busy and I had to do some designs at work and...
didn't really get to use computer for personal use...

Finally got it back now♡

As I wrote on Instagram...

I am writing about this incredibly beautiful cafe in Aoyama Tokyo

Aoyama flower market -  Tea house

Flower shop... is the entrance

of the tea specialized cafe.

I have posted so many photos of this amazing cafe on my instagram and

many people liked the photos, like I do.

I will write a blog about this cafe♡

There is always a queue waiting to get in the cafe

( 60 minutes queue usually, like in Disney land! )

So I gave up on going in there though...

Last time when my friend and I dropped by

luckily we walked in without waiting for a minute!

Never look so different but

every time I go there the flowers and arrangements are different

small differences but keeps on entertaining us.

Beautiful arrangement

There are flowers everywhere in the cafe.

On the tables on the wall, on the blocks...

I've told you a couple times,

my dream is to run a flower and coffee cafe.

Visiting this place is really inspiring and

expanding my dream ideas...♡

Most photogenic cafe that I know in Tokyo.

For sure.

( So far. )

These tiny tiny roses definitely brightened our table♡

They are alive! not fake flowers.

Cutest roses I've seen.

Photographers... never stop their hands when their food arrives...♡

We spend a few hours before starting to eat our food....

Well not a few hours but we do...

Ahaha

We keep on arranging the table and taking photos

rearrange it and photograph again

again and again

until the food is cold

#Relatable

Beautiful cafe

The food was marvellous.

We were deciding between ice cream and chicken sandwich ( not sure why )

And we both somewhat chose chicken sandwich ( not sure why... )

And it was the best chicken sandwich I've had in ...

Japan.

( No, no exeggeration. Really. )

I shall drop by there when there are less people again

to have their rose ice cream♡

What a fantastical place really...

This cafe and their flowers-

never let us down♡

Love you!

Anna

Roses are red and...

Good evening!

Firstly, just a note to self though

we just had a magnitude8.5 / intensity5+ earthquake hitting Ogasawara islands

( which is located in the middle of the ocean, a bit down south of Tokyo )

and my place was in the most intense area so...

doors opened, cups and vases fallen and clothes and yoga matt (lol) fell as well.

I wonder what will happen when it hits 6 or above...

Self diary*

Anyway!

Recently I remembered that May was the "Rose" month.

Roses bloom in May predominantly and I totally forgot about that until a couple days ago.

And today I had a day off so I went for a walk to a big rose garden.

There were still roses, but not many of them and instead

there were more hydrangeas blooming near them♡

Those white ones are called Annabel I think♡

Big chunk and look really good♡

It must have been a rose heaven this month...

shame I didn't realize until today but at least it was really relaxing and loved the walk there♡

Beautiful little white roses♡

They are perfect for my crush♡ ( #HopelessRomantic )

Hydrangeas are beautiful too, rainy flower.

Rainy season coming and wonder how bad it would be

I want to stay home and watch movies and read books♡

I love stormy night...

Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

Roses are red

Hello world!

I am addicted to beautiful flowers these days.

May was a rose month.

Such a shame I didn't get to go see the rose gardens but I will on this coming Saturday...

Hope to still be able to see them♡

This morning I was walking to work and bumped into this beautiful thing♡

How relaxing!

They are eye medicines♡

Sharing happiness♡

I have been starting to think about studying to get some certificate,

like... something related to finance or business...

just in my spare time... :)

Hope this year will be awesome as always♡
