Mizumoto Park

Aiming for early summer when irises and hydrangeas are reflected in the morning light at Mizumoto Park.

Mizumoto Park is a nature-rich spot where you can leisurely take pictures of irises and hydrangeas in bloom in early summer. The best time to visit is at sunrise, when the flowers are illuminated by the soft morning light, bringing out the vivid colors of the irises and hydrangeas. The spacious park is quiet in the early morning, allowing you to calmly photograph irises and hydrangeas wet with morning dew and awakening with the sunlight. Why not enjoy capturing a fantastic early-summer scene in the openness of Mizumoto Park, where the waterfront and greenery are in harmony? In addition to irises and hydrangeas that bloom in early summer, Mizumoto Park is an attractive spot for photographing seasonal flowers such as manjushaka in autumn and ancient lotus in summer. Especially during sunrise, the soft morning light shines on the flowers, beautifully enhancing their colors and textures. The spacious park is quiet in the early morning, making it an attractive place to calmly photograph flowers wet with morning dew and waterside scenery. Enjoy photographing the flowers that change their expressions with the seasons and the abundant nature, and take a fantastic shot that is unique to Mizumoto Park.

Key points for photography

The key to photography is to be aware of the flowers of each season and the time of day. Iris, hydrangea, and ancient lotus easily show their colors in soft morning light, and especially just after sunrise, you can take advantage of the morning dew and the moist atmosphere of the water's edge. Manjusaka flowers tend to be saturated with red when the light is too strong, so it is recommended to choose semi-backlit or soft light. Also, because Mizumoto Park is a large park, there are places where man-made objects tend to appear in the background, so it is important to find a composition where only nature appears by slightly changing your standing position. While the park is quiet and easy to photograph in the early morning, it is also dark underfoot in some areas, so be sure to enjoy photographing while taking safety precautions.
