Enjoy seasonal scenery with the scale of flower fields and hills at Tokyo German Village
Tokyo Deutsche Mura is a very popular photo spot, with its seasonal flowers and expansive landscapes. The park offers a sense of openness as far as the eye can see, and the different flowers in each season make it possible to capture a different look each time you visit. Especially in autumn, when cosmos, marigolds, and catechu bloom all over the hills, the colorful flowers create a spectacular scene that is very attractive. Taking advantage of the gently undulating terrain, you can capture the expanse of the flower garden and the size of the sky at the same time, resulting in a picture with a sense of scale. From the hill, you can see the entire park, so it is recommended to capture the contrast of the blue sky and the gradation of the flower garden and the sky in the evening, both of which are bathed in soft light. Illumination is also a major attraction, and visitors can enjoy a fantastic and romantic atmosphere at night, a complete change from the natural scenery during the day. In addition to the flower garden, Tokyo Deutsche Mura offers an abundance of subjects, such as the Ferris wheel and grass plaza, making it possible to enjoy taking photos in a variety of compositions, from landscapes to snapshots.
Key points for photography
The first thing to keep in mind when shooting is to compose your shots in a way that takes advantage of the expansive site. When photographing a flower garden, pull back a little and include the sky to emphasize the sense of openness and scale. Taking advantage of the gently sloping hills and shooting from different elevation positions will create a three-dimensional photo with a series of flowers in the background. The direction of the light is also important. In the morning, when the light is direct, the colors of the flowers tend to come out more clearly, while in the afternoon and evening, the oblique light creates shadows in the flower garden, creating a more dramatic atmosphere. During sunset, the combination of the color of the sky and the silhouette of the flowers provides a completely different look from that of the daytime. In addition to flowers, artificial objects such as a Ferris wheel and a lawn square can be daringly included in the composition to accentuate the photo. Since illumination photography can be enjoyed at night, we recommend using a tripod to carefully capture the twinkling lights while minimizing blurring. Take your time to visit both day and night, and be aware of the different expressions at different times of the day.
