This photograph was taken with a conscious focus on the contrast between the fallen camellia petals and the light and shadows of the setting sun. It captures a fleeting yet beautiful scene. Tsubakiyama-so is an attractive spot for photography, featuring beautiful gardens that change with the seasons. Its charm lies in offering distinct seasonal expressions, such as spring cherry blossoms and fresh greenery, autumn foliage, and winter camellias.Within the gardens, charming stone paths, waterfalls, and a three-story pagoda are scattered about, allowing you to take photos while feeling the traditional Japanese ambiance. The atmosphere of the gardens changes depending on how the light hits them, so visiting at different times of day is also recommended. It's a tranquil space that lets you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Be sure to capture the beautiful scenery with your camera.
