Showa Kinen Koen

Showa Kinen Koen is a beautiful park full of trees, flowers, and dragonflies!

The dragonflies here are blue with a tint of white.  They are absolutely beautiful.

On the other hand, for a park full of plants and animals, this park smelled of nothing.  We weren't sure if it was because of the season, but we couldn't smell any freshly-cut grass or newly-bloomed flowers.  It was eerie and strange.  We even tried the herb garden, but the thyme, rosemary, lavender, and mint had no fragrance whatsoever.

By the way, the Japanese garden was under maintenance.  They drained the pond completely.  They did a thorough job, because it had been raining, but the pond had no sign of water in it at all.

HAPPY Chinese New Year 2026 / 新年快樂
