Asukayama Park｜Places to visit for cherry blossoms, hydrangea, and autumn leaves

Enjoy the four seasons of the city with cherry blossoms, hydrangea, and autumn leaves at Asukayama

Asukayama in Oji is a photographic spot where you can enjoy the beauty of nature throughout the four seasons, especially during the cherry blossom, hydrangea, and autumn foliage seasons. In spring, the park is filled with cherry blossoms and you can enjoy photographing in a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by soft light. During the rainy season, the hydrangeas along the paths along the railroad tracks are at their best, creating a tranquil atmosphere and an emotional scene. In autumn, the trees turn beautiful colors, and the entire park is enveloped by the serene hues of the autumn leaves, reminding us of the changing of the seasons. Asukayama is a charming place that you will want to visit again and again, as it shows a different face in each season of your visit.

Key points for photography

The key to photography is to be aware of the subject and location of each season. For cherry blossoms in spring, choose a morning time when there is soft light to create a calm atmosphere. For hydrangeas, take advantage of the path along the railroad tracks and incorporate the depth of the path into the composition to create an emotional shot. For autumn foliage, backlight the foliage to see how the leaves are changing color to bring out the vivid colors of the leaves. Since there are many people strolling in the park, it is important to choose a position that does not obstruct traffic and to enjoy taking pictures while being mindful of your surroundings.
