  • 4/5 takashi k. 1 year ago on Google • 40 reviews
    I visited on June 7, 2022, almost at the peak of the season, but the number of irises was sparse. . At the time of sowing, the coronavirus infection was still strong, so perhaps they didn't plant much in anticipation of that. Although flowering information was available in 2020 and 2021, why is there no flowering information available online in 2022? I thought it was because of this (´・ω・`) Too bad. However, even if the number is small, each flower is beautiful, as expected from iris. I thought. I visited on a rainy day, and I think the irises and hydrangeas look great even on rainy days.

    As of September 23rd, the iris garden was available for use. Of course, you can also use the toilet. A toilet with an observation deck? It's not a big deal, the view isn't great, but it might be good for a walk or to kill time 🚙🅿️📷🐹

    This is an iris garden that is fairly well-maintained, although its size is modest for this area. It's in a great location with a nice view and a great place to walk around, and there's plenty of parking available. Perhaps because there have been many kappa legends around Ushiku-numa since ancient times, there are kappa monuments scattered throughout the iris garden for the enjoyment of visitors. 0620 22M

    June 5th I went to see if it was already in bloom. It was blooming, I wonder if it will still bloom? Is it something like this? I would like to go when it is in full bloom. Last time I fixed the stairs that were falling apart. I'm looking forward to seeing it completed. I didn't notice it last time! Is there an observation deck above the toilet? It seems that it is. May 20th I went there thinking that the irises would be blooming, but it seemed a little early. It felt like it was full of nature, and there were toilets nearby. It must be beautiful when the flowers are blooming 💠

    Approximately 3km southwest of Ushiku Station. This iris garden is located near Ushikunuma, a 30-minute walk away. As of June 6th, irises and lotuses are starting to bloom. Take the city circulation bus and get off at the Mikazuki Lifelong Learning Center stop, which is soba. Convenient to use the bus. Admission is free, but please note that there are no souvenir shops. There are public restrooms for men and women, but they are locked except from 8:30 to 17:00, so please be careful. There aren't that many people visiting, and there are benches, so it's a good place to relax and admire the irises while enjoying a cup of tea.

    Visited 22/7/10 It was all green, probably because the best time to see the irises had already ended. There was a child fishing for crayfish. Stone statues of kappa were scattered around. There was some coin at the foot of the stone statue, but I wonder why people often leave coins in places like this.

    I went to see Ayame. It is located along the Inari River near Ushiku-numa and has a parking lot. The irises were in full bloom. Irises and lotuses are blooming in a relatively large park.

  • 3/5 ito-ajiro 3 months ago on Google • 476 reviews New
    It is located on the Inari River, which is famous for being a river where fishing is not possible. The statue of a kappa floating in the evening scenery is apologetic.

    (Translated by Google) A little hidden spot in Ushiku Swamp. It wasn't the flower season, but it was a holiday, so there were many people fishing. It's a scenic place. The parking lot is also well maintained. (Original) 牛久沼のちょっとした穴場スポット。花の時期ではありませんでしたが休日だったので釣りをされてる方がたくさんおられました。風光明媚良い場所です。駐車場もしっかり整備されております。

    I went there for the first time in quite a while with my kids. There is a statue of a kappa. I went not during the irises season, so I would like to come back when they are blooming again. We had a great time as we were surrounded by nature and the weather was nice.

    There is a parking lot that can accommodate about 10 cars, and the scenery is spectacular. The garden was well maintained and I was impressed by the beautiful lotus flowers in bloom.

  • 4/5 PIROPI PRO (. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) When the irises bloom, 5 stars. A lot of lotus was growing, so the lotus season looks good. There is a free park, parking lot, and toilet. (Original) 菖蒲が咲いたら、星5つ。蓮も沢山生えていたので、蓮の季節も良さそう。無料公園、駐車場、トイレ有り。

    (Translated by Google) You can enjoy the idyllic scenery very quietly because it is not a big tourist resource while singing "sightseeing". Rather, the statue of a kappa is annoying (laughs) It's a very quiet place where I think it's better to brand like the Cotswolds in Japan, and it's very good to spend time alone. (Original) "観光"を謳いつつも大して観光資源化されていないために、とても静かに牧歌的な風景を満喫できます むしろ河童の銅像が邪魔くさいかな(笑)それよりも日本のコッツウォルズみたいなブランディングしたほうがよほど良いと思うような長閑な場所で、一人でぼーっと過ごすのにとても良いです

    駐車場、綺麗な御手洗完備。 お天気の良い日はカッパの小径を散策するのもイイかも。

    (Translated by Google) There are several statues of kappa. You can enjoy irises and lotus flowers in June. (Original) カッパの銅像が、いくつかあります。6月に行くとアヤメと蓮の花が楽しめます。

  • 3/5 Y A (. 10 months ago on Google
    花がさけば、カッパさんも笑顔になりそうです。写真やスケッチする人が多いです。公衆トイレはあります。時間外はカギがかかってしまいます。駐車場は無料です。

👍 This is a stone monument of ``Kappa'', a legend of Ushiku-numa. Unique kappa paintings are rare. The manholes in Ushiku City are called ``kappa'', so after googling to find out why, I finally found it (lol). It became famous because Mr. Imosen (Kappa no Imosen) often used it as a motif in his painti...
