Red spider lilies illuminated by the morning sun, shining like spotlights at Sakura-zutsumi Park

This photograph was taken at Sakura Tsutsumi Park in Saitama Prefecture. It captures the scene of red spider lilies illuminated like spotlights as the sun began to rise, with rays of light filtering through the trees in places. The soft morning light blends with the vivid red of the spider lilies, creating a fantastical atmosphere.Sakura Tsutsumi Park in Saitama Prefecture is a recommended natural spot worth visiting twice a year, in spring and autumn. Its approximately 2-kilometer-long cherry blossom avenue is truly spectacular. Come spring, the Somei-Yoshino cherry trees burst into bloom simultaneously, offering a breathtaking view that feels like walking through a pink tunnel.Strolling or picnicking beneath the cherry blossoms offers moments straight out of a movie scene. Then, in autumn, the crimson-tinged red spider lilies (Higanbana) reach their peak. The landscape blanketed in vivid red is incredibly magical, making it a popular photography spot for visitors with cameras in hand.
