The coolest thing about Japan in the springtime is the flowers! It seems like every couple weeks a special type of flower is in bloom and there are parks dedicated to that flower. Then everyone takes time to go hang out at the park an enjoy. First it was the cherry blossoms, or sakura, now it is the azaleas, and next it was the wisteria.
Otawa Tsutsuji-no-oka Azalea Hill is the name of this pretty cool park. It isn't big, but it was free and a lot of fun. It is basically a hill covered in azaleas. There are several paths you can choose to take as you make your way up to the top. I let the kids go free and told them to meet me at the top.
Calista stuck with me.
Beatrix wanted to hang out with me as well. She actually slept through pretty much the whole thing.
At the top we ate lunch and hung out with friends before heading back down.
If you look closely in this next picture you can see some people on one of the paths. The hedges were pretty high so most of the time you couldn't see any other paths except the one you were on.
Can't wait until next year.
