This botanical garden in Tokyo, where seasonal flowers bloom beautifully throughout the year, is also a highly attractive spot for photography. In spring, plum and cherry blossoms vividly color the grounds, with rows of cherry trees in full bloom and petals dancing in the wind creating a picturesque beauty. In early summer, the rose garden reaches its peak, and capturing the vibrant, colorful roses in bloom against carefully chosen backgrounds makes for dramatic photos.During the rainy season, hydrangeas and irises bloom softly, and flowers adorned with raindrops after the rain create a fantastical atmosphere. In summer, the shade of trees and green tunnels offer cool photo spots even under strong sunlight. Come autumn, the garden's maple and ginkgo trees turn vividly red, and the contrast with their reflections on the water surface creates beautiful photographs.
