Snuggled in a picturesque valley in Murayama, the Higashizawa Rose Park is one of the gems of Yamagata. This year, the annual Rose Festival is being held from June 5th to July 6th. This park has an incredible display of 750 species of roses, and there are about 20,000 roses in bloom. The magnificence of the colors capture your attention from the moment you enter the park, and their incredibly sweet scents linger with you long after you've left. Amidst the roses, there is also a shrine and three ponds that add an extra touch of awe to the ambiance.

Nice photos. Every time I see them, I feel like hopping on the next flight to Japan.
@Kay elle, I'm g;ad you enjoy it. The photos are by no means an exact replication of what you will witness with your own eyes. And you know the best part about this, the butterflies outnumbered the bees here!
@Sheldon, thank you so much :)
