#springblossom Public park with hundreds of free parking slots splitted into two parking lots. The main event in my opinion is held during the spring, when a huge area is covered by colorful tulips. There are some cherry trees to make the scenery even more beautiful. In December the park holds a Xmas illumination event. A negative comment is that during these events, leave the parking lots is stressful and might take around 45 minutes due to the local traffic limitations.

I went to Haneya Dandan Park in Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture ((((((っ･ω･)っ I went there to see the double cherry blossoms, but I was about a week late and most of the cherry blossoms had already lost their leaves (இдஇ; ) Instead, there was a wisteria tunnel and it was blooming beautifully ✿ﾟ❀.(*´▽`*)❀.ﾟ✿ I thought there would only be carp streamers, but the wisteria was blooming and I was able to take a nice shot of the wisteria and carp streamers together ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ 🏍Haneya Dandan Park🏍 Address: Ojo, Nanno-cho, Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture Opening hours: 24 hours #Domestic travel #Gifu Prefecture #Gifu #Touring #Touring trip #Gifu trip #Gifu sightseeing #Kaizu City #Haneya Dandan Park #Wisteria #Wisteria flowers #Wisteria trellis #Carp streamers

It's a quiet and peaceful place. It's on top of a mountain, so you have to climb a little. The table reflection in the first photo is a classic photo opportunity. The garden is well-maintained, with seasonal flowers in bloom. Hydrangeas were in bloom in mid-June. #QuintessaCampaign
