Episode 13 - Sea of Flowers

Sea of Flowers

This photo was taken at Biei, Hokkaido, Japan.

The flowers were planted systmatically on the slopes along the main road.

At first, I was not aware of these flower beds. I was then driving to another point of interest in Biei. Suddenly, I noticed that a number of cars in front of my car were slowing down to have a left turn. As an experienced traveller, I followed suit. I drove my car into one of the free parking spaces and had a great time. As you can apprciate, it was really a great enjoyment to walk along a sea of flowers like this.

Obviously, these flowers were planted for the purpose of tourists attraction. No entrance fee was required. Surprised?
