The snow piled up on the field in Meiji Jingu Gyoen Garden

There is an iris field in the Meiji Jingu Gyoen, which was built by Emperor Meiji for Empress Shoken in 1893. When I visited, the field was covered with snow, so unfortunately I could not see the irises. It is winter now. If you visit in June, the peak season, you will surely see the beautiful irises.

A small path stretched along the iris field. At the end of it, I saw a hut. The scene before me was so peaceful that I felt as if I had gone out to the countryside. It was hard to believe that I was in the heart of Tokyo. The Gyoen garden was quiet. Perhaps the snow on the ground was absorbing all the hustle and bustle of the city.
