Azalea Festival at the Rikugien Garden
There was an azalea festival held recently at the Rikugien Garden. I went there the first day so the flowers were not in full bloom yet.

Rikugien Garden (六義園) is a park in Bunkyo City, Tokyo. The garden consists of a pond, trees, and a hill. It was completed in 1702 and is a typical example of gardens from the Edo period. In November and early December, it becomes a popular spot for enjoying the autumn foliage (koyo). After dark, the garden stays open late and the trees are lit with special nighttime illuminations.
