These roses were so vibrant they really brought a smile to my face

Main entrance to Jardin de Bagatelle

You may be in Japan, but you're on European time while enjoing the fragrant flowers

Surrounded by the pond, enjoy French cuisine during the lunch hours of 11:00am to 2:00pm

The Orangery is a multi-purpose hall that showcased rose photography during my visit

Roses are red, violets are blue....

"Friendship," "Joy" or "Get Well" comes to mind whenever I come across yellow roses

A glimpse of the light-blue gazebo while standing in the rose garden almost feels like a fairytale

Soaking in the lovely rose garden from the gazebo tucked on top of the hill

Walking along the rose vine paths

The views are so beautiful no matter where you stand in the rose garden

Cool off by enjoying some rose-flavored soft cream

Oh, the beauty of roses! They have a long and colorful history and are symbols of love, beauty, war, and politics. Jardin de Bagatelle, located in Kawazu, has been a sister park to Jardin de Bagatelle in Paris since its establishment in 2001.

Access by train to Kawazu Station then shuttle bus or taxi.

We also visited it. But at that time there were no roses blooming!

This place looks so foreign (considering it's in Japan)! As you explained, it has the European influence on it and it's very clear. This is such a unique garden, and your pictures give them a glorious and royal feel to the building and plants. I would love to take a visit here in the spring in the future. Thank you for sharing!
