Enjoy the purple landscape and seasonal colors spreading across the plateau at Tanbara Lavender Park
Tanbara Lavender Park is an impressive photo spot with its lavender fields stretching across the highlands in summer. With a fresh breeze blowing through the air, the view of purple flowers spreading all over the park gives a sense of openness, and from a vantage point, you can enjoy the beautiful contrast with the blue sky. Early morning and evening are the times when the light is soft and the lavender hues are enhanced. In the fall, the park is decorated with kochia, which gives the park a different, more serene appearance than in the summer. This is a place where you can take a memorable photo while enjoying the highland scenery that changes with each season.
Key points for photography
The key to photographing lavender is to be aware of the composition that takes advantage of the entire lavender field. The all-over expanse of purple lavenders can be photographed with an eye to creating a carpet-like expanse, which will convey the charm of the scene. If you visit Tanbara Lavender Park first thing in the morning, the park is relatively empty, so it is easy to avoid people in the shot, and you can take pictures calmly. Try to capture a shot that conveys the scale of the lavenders against the openness of the plateau.
