summary

I've been here many times, but I finally got to see the best season.

Ochikura Natural Garden is small, but the plants are densely packed together, giving it the feel of a skunk cabbage colony.

There were quite a few people there, but it wasn't too crowded.

It was a great place to take photos of plants!
