Akao Herb & Rose Garden (アカオハーブ＆ローズガーデン)

Dropped by Akao Herb & Rose Garden (アカオハーブ＆ローズガーデン) on the way to Izu.

At the ticket area, there is a bus that will bring you up the hill.

On top of the hill is this beautiful zen garden and a magnificent view of the bay.

There are of course many nice gardens toos.

As we are on top of the hill, we can slowly walk down to enjoy the different gardens there.

Right next to the zen garden is a cafe where you can buy drinks and cakes to be enjoyed outside or inside.

Other than just beautiful flowers, there are also some interesting installations there for pictures.

One can also just enjoy sleeping on a hammock while enjoying the nice sea breeze.

The way down is nice because every garden is different.

The scenery completely changes in each of the gardens.

I would love to revisit again for more pictures.

Though we did have to be very careful because we spotted a green snake in one of the garden.

Otherwise, it was really.

As it was early summer, we didn't have to worry about spiders yet.

Spring and summer would be a good time to visit as many of the flower are in full bloom.

Also, other than at the top of the hill where many people gathered, there were not many people on all the other gardens because there were so many of them so you can enjoy each one peacefully.

This last one here has a beach resort vibe to it.

I assume this place would be really nice for those who are interested in pre-wedding pictures too.
