Japanese Wisteria Garden

 

Hi, everyone!

 

I went to see wisterias in a Japanese traditional shrine, called Kameido-Tenjin.

 

 

先日亀戸天神にフジを観に行ってきました♪

 

 

 

Unfortunately, they were beyond the peak, due to warm weather in March.

 

今年は少し開花が早いようで残念ながら盛りは過ぎていたけどね。。。



 

 

The contrust between the pale purple wisterias and pink azaleas is quite attractive.

ツツジって道路の植栽の定番だけど、藤とのコラボは素敵だったなぁ。。。





This wisterias view in this shrine  has been famous since about 200 years ago when Hiroshige Ando, a famous Japanese Ukiyo-e painter in Edo-era,  drew the picture above.

ここはその昔安藤広重も描いたという、古くから藤を楽しめる場所

 

 

You can also enjoy viewing Tokyo Sky Tree, a height of 601 meters and surpassed Canton Tower in China becoming the world's tallest free-standing broadcasting tower.

It's an innovative view the old and new come together:)

 

 

なのに東京スカイツリーもこんなに近くに見えるの。

新旧コラボの景色がなんとも不思議なカンジ〜♪

 

さらにいろんな生き物がいるんだよ〜♪♪

 

 

Besides, you can find verious creatures here.

 

An astonishing number of turtles live in a pond located in the middle of the garden.

すごい数の亀さんたちが中央の池に住んでいました。
3匹並んで甲羅干し〜
昔から亀がたくさん住んでいたから「亀戸」なのか。。。
「亀戸」だから亀をたくさん放したのか。。。(笑)

 

 

He? or she? seems to be  used to attracting attention.

 

「ボクは注目されるの慣れっこですから。。」。ってカンジのサギ

 

 

Oh, look at the above.  I heard that Ayu, a river fish in Japan, broiled with salt  being on skewer is very popular among foreign tourists. If you have an oppotunity to visit Japan, give it a try!  You should take a large bite, though:)


そうそう、鮎の塩焼きって外国人旅行者に人気なんだってね〜
丸ごとかぶりつくってのがあり得ないらしいヨ(笑)
