We were very lucky to have a friend and her kind husband take us to Kamo Iris garden and really lucked out on the decent weather and the lack of crowds when we went!
Here’s the official japanese website of the Kamo Iris Garden ^^/
Currently the Irises are out of season but this place has a greenhouse which feature selected plants indoors.
This time it is diamond lilies which has a beautiful sparkle in the sunlight (which can only be better seen with the naked eye)
We (or at least I lol) gasped when we entered the greenhouse/garden, the overview was spectacular, it was like stepping into a beautiful dream!
There are some older type Japanese villa which is open for viewing at with an entry fee.
We have to remove our shoes to get in and pictures are allowed ^^ They even serve amazake 甘酒 near the entrance, and the obachan who tended the area was very kind :)
This area could had been the guards or servant’s quarters
As it was rather windy (VERY windy LOL) outdoors, most photos are taken indoors XP
This area was surrounded by walls so not as windy ^^
These little statues were for sale I think, there’s a little tag behind/beside them which states the price XD
More later XD Thanks for looking!
Oh that traditional house looks fab for some DD photography, nice!
