Photography at Higashitakahashi Kochia Garden is especially recommended during sunrise or under blue skies. During the season when green kochia spreads across the landscape, the clear blue sky and soft morning light vividly accentuate the kochia, allowing you to capture refreshing and crisp photos. The early morning hours, when the air is still fresh, also feature fewer other visitors, letting you enjoy a quiet time while taking photos. Furthermore, the kochia that turns red in autumn appears even more vividly when illuminated by the morning light.The soft light of the morning glow accentuates the beauty of the kochia, creating a magical atmosphere. Be sure to enjoy the scenery of kochia leaves spreading across the landscape during the morning hours.
