Hikasa Rose Garden/Wake Town

The Hikasa Rose Garden, which is located in the community facility "Morioka Yuyu House" in Wake Town, is located next to the site of Hikasa Elementary School. At 420 square meters, it's as large as a basketball court, but the rose walls and arches are compactly arranged in three dimensions, and it's worth seeing! It is a rose garden that can be easily accessed from the parking lot.

entrance rose

White and pink roses welcome you at the entrance. It's a type of Pierre de Ronsard. It's cute with a color like white peach!

Shine spot 1

Roses are cultivated along the walls surrounding the garden, just like a wall of roses. Right after entering the park, there is a wall of roses that separates the selling rose corner and the tour corner. If you take a picture from the road outside the site, it will look like this.

Brilliant spot 2

There is a rose arch in the garden. If you shoot from the side of the observatory, you can create a photo with depth. Roses in the back, roses above, roses in front!

Brilliant spot 3

There are also wonderful roses around the back of the building in the park! This is also a wall of yellow roses, and you can take pictures of roses all over the background.

Dark pink roses, yellow roses, pale pink roses... A wall of colorful roses. If you take a photo with the wall here, it will look like the photo below.

Brilliant spot 4

I took a picture with the wall on the west side of the garden over the central flower bed. From here, you can also take pictures with depth, completely rose.

Is it Hikasa Hi? Owls are also welcome!

The Rose

I chose a more beautiful rose and took a close-up shot. The variety is Gartenzerber. The beauty of the shape created by delicately overlapping each petal! If you go with your friends, try shooting with the light on your smartphone. however! The key to taking beautiful pictures is not to irradiate the light from the front! As you can see by looking at the shadow of the rose, the light is applied diagonally from the side. If you shine the light from the front, the photo will look like it was taken with a flash, but if you shine the light at an angle of about 45 degrees, you can take a more impressive photo of the rose.

tea scented roses

A yellow rose called Charlotte. What a tea scent! This is also a good scent and my face unintentionally smiles. I think this is an easy-to-understand photo that the light is shining from the left side. If you take not only a single flower, but also the buds around it and take advantage of the blank space, you will have room to create an elegant photo.

cut flower sale

Cut flowers are also sold near the entrance. From stocks for sale, a full-time person can cut it on the spot and buy it. Only when there is a full-time person, some things sell and some things don't, so please talk to the person in the tent at the entrance.

Tanematsuyama Park Rose Garden / Kurashiki City

Seed Matsuyama Park in Kurashiki City is a comprehensive park with an area of ​​12.5 ha. In the rose garden inside, you can enjoy 3,000 colorful roses planted on the slopes. There are several parking lots, but the nearest third parking lot (enclosed with a red line) is recommended.

Rose garden on the west side of the parking lot

It smells so good when you come out of the parking lot! I'm excited to feel the scent before the appearance of the rose! As you go down the slope, you can see the roses blooming all over the vast grounds. Different colors are planted next to each other, so it's really colorful! Cherry blossoms and azaleas are beautiful, but roses are the only way to enjoy such a variety of colors.

Tips for great photos

The trick to taking a good photo is to shoot with the forest across the pond in the background, without including any man-made objects such as buildings, electric poles, signboards, and paved roads. If you keep that in mind when you take a picture, it will be more photogenic.

Path connecting rose gardens

There is a small path on the south side of the parking lot, and if you walk there you can reach another rose garden. For those who don't usually walk a lot or who are a little lacking in exercise, it's a good exercise while looking at beautiful roses, killing two birds with one stone!

Rose garden on the east side of the parking lot

This is the rose garden on the east side of the parking lot. There are also bright reds, elegant pinks, bright yellows, soft purples, and colorful roses that look like a rainbow. So many roses on such a large site. Once again, it must be difficult for those who are managing... I am grateful to be able to see beautiful roses.

photogenic spot

It looks cool in the shade. This place is recommended as a photogenic spot. It's hard to find a place where you can relax on a bench with so many roses in front of you! Take a short break while admiring the beautiful roses. What you hear is the sound of cherry blossom leaves swaying in the wind, and the voices of warblers and titmouses. A wide variety of vivid roses reflected in my eyes... I was healed.​

Seto Inland Sea Quartet

Tanematsuyama Park is a very large park with large playground equipment, a plum grove, and a Japanese garden. The picture is a superb view from the "Children's Square" with playground equipment. A quartet of fresh greenery, the Mizushima industrial complex, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, and the Seto Inland Sea in the sky! It's a mysterious spectacle like a mirage, but it's a real spectacle...!
