Gyoda city’s ancient Lotus

Last week visited again the Ancient lotus park in Gyoda city, as now the flowers are in season.



As last year I arrived quite early, lotus flower only opens between 6:00 and 10:00 AM, and again as last year there were already a large number of visitors at the park.



The park is divided in two sections: the ancient lotus pond and the world lotus garden.



There are many lotus gardens in Tokyo, but can hardly compare in variety and beauty to this park in Saitama, This park beauty make worthwhile the trip from Tokyo.
