Rose of Kyu Furukawa Teien / Night view

Every Spring and Autumn's rose seasons, Kyu Furukawa Teien open a "Rose Festival".  Several years ago, I visited there to see "Autumn Rose Festival" and posted an article on this blog. (2006 Autumn Rose Festival http://leepapa05.blogspot.jp/2006_10_01_archive.html)

They have held "2014 Spring Rose Festival" right now, and I found that they opened the garden till night during this event. So, I visited there after work last Friday evening.

I already have written the history and overview of this garden on the previous post (2006 Autumn Rose Festival http://leepapa05.blogspot.jp/2006_10_01_archive.html), so I won't rewrite them here. Let me just introduce you the photos which I took. 

I couldn't get into the mansion, but all of the room lights were on, 

And also the roses surrounded the mansion were lighted-up.

Below the mansion, there was a western style rose garden.

Illuminated roses are also beautiful, are they?

There were many people coming here, but thanks of darkness, I didn't feel so crowded, could just enjoy the night view.

Below the rose garden, you can find the Japanese style garden. They also illuminated there. 

  Illuminated green leaves and calm atmosphere made me feel relaxed.

"2014 Spring Rose Festival" will be held until June 9th, but the nighttime open would be till this evening (May 25th). Sorry, I couldn't introduce this information earlier. If you have any interest, please try on next chance. It might be held in October.
