This photo was taken at Yokosuka Shobu Garden, where I felt the deep purple irises and the quiet background.

This photo was taken at Yokosuka Iris Garden, focusing on the deep purple irises while slightly blurring the background to create a calm atmosphere. Easily accessible from Kamakura, Yokosuka Iris Garden offers views of seasonal flowers in full bloom.The star of June, the iris, boasts a rich variety and is a sight to behold. Their appearance blooming by the water evokes a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. The hydrangeas within the garden also enhance their beauty when wet with rain, adding a richer color to your stroll. In spring, wisteria flowers gently envelop the trellises, welcoming visitors.
