Walk to the Iris Park, Shrine, Temple

Whew! So I’ve been busy!! I arrived in Nisshin on friday and didn’t have to work until tuesday, so i took out a map and walked around. took lots of pictures. there’s half a dozen temples and shrines within a 30 minute walk. i went to an iris park on saturday. there are THOUSANDS or irises growing next to a rice patty with little walkways. pictures below….

So then I walked back home and stopped at a shrine and temple on the way. I was glad that no one was there so I didn’t feel like I was angering the gods or something by just wandering around taking pictures of everything. :)

And finally, a few pictures of pretty flowers growing in gardens or on the side of the road. The hydrangea is the city flower of Nisshin!! :)
