At Yokosuka Shobu Garden, a photo that made me feel like "a flower-picking lady facing the flowers."

This photograph captures a moment of Ms. Tsukiko diligently working at Yokosuka Iris Garden. Nestled in tranquil nature, it is cherished as a place where visitors can admire a variety of flowers. In early summer, vibrant irises bloom magnificently, their impressive sight drawing the eyes of all who visit. The irises blooming along the peaceful waterside evoke a serene atmosphere.Hydrangeas are another highlight, offering a charming, moist atmosphere. The clusters of flowers cascading from the wisteria trellis signal spring's arrival, creating a vibrant scene to enjoy.
