Trip to Osaka

Today, I would like to share this sophisticated cafe, located in a suburb of Osaka, Kansai district.

Love this exterior, ivy trailed over the wall. And a tea tree planted in the garden was in full bloom 

I went on a short trip to Osaka. This cafe, "Rustica",  is run by my friend.

Looking at its cool interior, have you noticed the unique shape of wall?

Actually, this cafe is made by renovating a container train.

Sparerib dish was yammy!!

And we visited this famous castle, as well.

Its name is "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". 

Yes!!! 

I went to "Universal Studios Japan" located in Osaka city:)

 

When we visited, Harry Potter Show using Projection Mapping was held at night. 

We enjoyed gripping scene, like flying dementors!

I looove Osaka area, and wanna go back there, soon!:)

Strolling around the huge rose gardens

Hi everyone! 

How is the weather in your area? 

Although the rainy season has set in, we are having little rain these days...

So, I visited a couple of gardens which are famous for roses:)

We barely met the deadline of full-blown roses.

My friend seemed to admire the shine of magnificent view:)

We are getting into hydrangea season from now on...

Thank you for dropping by

My Garden in Spring 2017

I had been waiting for May, the rose season in Japan. 

Time flies! We're getting into June, the rainy season here...

Before the rainy season, I would like to post my balcony garden as a memorandum. 

Actually, our condominium building will have the large-scale repair next January, including exterior wall repair and roof repair... 

That means we should remove not only all of these plants, but exterior objects, like wood fence or faked brick flowerbed... 

This building will be under repair from January to May next year.

A carpenter bee comes  every year when this R.mulliganii blooms.

Thanks to him, we can enjoy the rose hips every autumn:)

But we cannot see him next year because of the repair, I guess...

I'm dreaming of new balcony garden next year...
