    多種多様な植栽。季節的にバラは少なかったがそれを補って余りあるカラーリーフ、カラフルな宿根草。広々とした庭園の風格ある池の周囲にはダリア。池の奥には滝。今まで見たことないような本格的なロックガーデン。散策できる山道。小鳥の声、沢の音。青々とした芝生を背景に風に揺れる背の高いグラス類。日本にこんな豪華で繊細でナチュラルな庭園ガーデンがあったのかと度肝を抜かれた。

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
