One of the most colorful sights in Kasama in spring is the azalea at Kasama Tsutsuji Park, which cannot be missed. About 8,500 azaleas are planted in tiers on the slopes of the 143-meter-high mountain, and the colorful red, white, pink, and other flowers bloom in profusion as if the surface of the mountain is being dyed. During the peak season, visitors can enjoy gorgeous scenery wherever they walk in the park, and from the top of the mountain, they can enjoy a magnificent view of the city of Kasama and the mountains in the distance over the azaleas. This is a must-visit spot in spring, perfect for a leisurely stroll and photo shoots.

Kasama Azalea Park｜Azalea flow composition

This photo was taken with an eye toward composition so that the viewer's gaze naturally flows from the azalea in the foreground, down the center, and then to the back.

In this photo, I tried to capture the rhythm of nature by taking advantage of the uneven shape of the azalea, which spreads out in the back in the form of a look down.
