At last, the season has come when we can feel the soft rays of spring sunshine.

In the "Fragrant Wind Garden" which is closed during the winter,Opening on Saturday, March 14thWe are currently preparing for this.
The garden is not yet open to the public, but the breath of spring can be felt here and there.

Snowdrops, a flower that heralds early spring, are in beautiful bloom.
The small pure white flowers that bloom downwards seem to gently whisper the arrival of spring.
It is a small bulbous plant, but it is exceptionally adorable.

The vibrant yellow daffodils have finally begun to sprout buds, perhaps due to the cold weather this year.
Still, the sight of the buds sprouting vigorously gives a sense of the energy of spring.

The tulips in the garden grow a little slowly.
Still, it slowly began to emerge from the soil.
This year, some unusual varieties will be available, including double-flowered, lily-flowered, and fringed-flowered varieties.
Just imagining the sight of tulips of all different colors and shapes blooming in full force is enough to get me excited.
The best time to see the flowers is from mid-April.

The native tulips are growing a little earlier.
The plant is compact, growing to a height of 10-40cm, and the flowers are small. It is full of delicate, rustic charm.
This will start blooming in early April.

The spring garden gradually awakens.
Enjoy the view of the garden, which changes its appearance gently day by day.
Please wait a little while until the park opens.
