This photo was taken at Yokosuka Iris Garden, which felt like "an iris field viewed from a height.

This photo shows the iris field at Yokosuka Shobuen, taken from a slightly elevated position looking down on the entire field. At Yokosuka Shobuen, where the tranquility and color of the flowers are so attractive, the garden comes alive in June when the irises are at their best. Flowers blooming along the water's edge add depth to the serene scenery. Hydrangeas are eye-catching in the rain, with their cool hues. In spring, wisteria blossoms create a magical atmosphere as their pale purple color seems to blend into the air.
