Kodai Hasu No Sato (Ancient Lotus Park)

There were many different kinds of lotus flowers blooming beautifully. Amazing!

The rice field mosaic was amazing! It’s worth visiting. Lotus was out of season when I visited here but the park is nice place to take a walk. The fee of the tower is 400yen and free for the park.

I visited on 11May2024 but not yet lotus blooming, still be peacful and nice park

Visited the rice paddy art in the end of September. The peak season for the lotus flowers and art is the end of July, but the trip to see the rice art is more than worth it. The scale of it is an impressive site in person. Photos do not do this place justice. The lotus museum/information center below the tower was quite interesting as well! There is lots to do in this area so I recommend making a day trip and visiting the castle and other parks nearby!

I missed the lotus season but I was still able to see a few kinds of lotus flowers there. I enjoyed strolling and taking pictures there. There’s a musical background in the park so it was relaxing just to sit and appreciate nature. Entry to the park is free but if you want to view the park and the rice field art from the tower, you need to pay 400 yen. See more photos on my Instagram (@sherylgim).
