Mifune-yama Rakuen is a park which sprawls out on the western foot of Mt. Karafune, in Takeo city, Saga. The park hosts a variety of events such as tea parties and photography sessions. Once I came to Mifune-yama Rakuen is on early autumn.

Tea house and the clear pool, in fine clearly day, I had an beautiful experience there.

Color leaves of autumn seasons were changing. Not peak, but very beautiful.

I enjoyed taking more and more photos. Looked up high, you could see many leaf-stars on above.

Natural garden gives human strong. When we walk under the tunnel of trees, we get more long lives.

Mifuneyama Rakuen was built over a period of approximately 3 years by Shigeyoshi Nabeshima, the 28th ruler of the Takeo Domain, as part of his holiday home.

Flowers such as cherry blossoms and azaleas, wisteria bloom in spring, evergreen and maple dyed crimson and make a stunning landscape and rocks of Mifuneyama.
In autumn, azaleas is left only leaves but still beautiful.
