The fragrance of irises was believed to bring good luck

The rainy season, known as Tsuyu, has begun.

The weather during tsuyu is very unstable and the main problem is humidity. People tend to become irritated by it.

Although, tsuyu is a gloomy time, there are many pretty flowers blooming at this time.
One of them is iris, which is a symbol of the rainy season in Japan. You can view irises in many gardens and parks around Japan.

Above all, we'd like to recommend IKUTA PARK, one of the most cherished park areas in Kawasaki. IKUTA PARK contains 1,200 irises in the Iris gardens, as well as hydrangeas, camellias and azaleas in the citizen’s flower garden. You can enjoy irises with the view of Nihon-Minka-en (Japan Open-Air Folk Museum) where there are many traditional folk houses.

 

Viewing pretty flowers makes us feel better during gloomy rainy days.
