I can’t believe there are hot springs here.
If you want, you can soak in a foot bath.
Next, there will be many flowers, but I don’t know much about flowers, so I won’t introduce them in detail~
Preparing for Winter Lighting Decorations
Preparing to enter the Begonia Garden in autumn.
It feels like an angel.
This cluster of flowers resembles a floating island in the sky.
There is a very special observation deck in the midst of NabanaNoSato.
This is a replica of Mount Fuji.
After going around, I believe this side will be beautiful in autumn when coming out from the Mirror Pond, because it is filled with maple leaves.
The maple leaves this year are in pretty good condition.
Finally, firefly conservation in progress…
