``Chamomile Festa'' at MenardAoyamaResort 's herb garden is popular every year. We will introduce you in detail! [Interview date: June 2017]

掲載日:2017.06.06

I went to the "Chamomile Festa" being held at the Herb Garden at MenardAoyamaResort (IgaCity)! The chamomile fields in full bloom are a sight to behold. Nemophila flowers are also blooming, and there are many Instagrammable spots! The Chamomile Harvest Festival will be held on the last Saturday and Sunday of the Chamomile Festa period, so be sure to go there.

I heard that the "Chamomile Festa" being held at the Herb Garden at MenardAoyamaResort (IgaCity) was the best time to see it, so I went there right away! (Interview shooting date: June 5, 2017)

*2020 can be viewed from June 1st. The Harvest Festival will be held on Saturday, June 13th and Sunday, June 14th, 2020.

At the entrance to the herb garden, a cute sign will welcome you.

As soon as you enter the herb garden, the first thing that catches your eye is a field of flowers including white northpoles and California poppies.
The ``Herb Garden'' also grows beautiful flowers that are not herbs, and are sure to please visitors.

If you go a little further, you will reach an area of German chamomile that is covered with white flowers!
The white petals are in full bloom. This year, they started blooming later than usual, so it was just the best time to see them.

The name "chamomile" comes from the Greek word meaning "apple of the earth." It certainly has a sweet apple-like scent, and the scent is soothing.

Found a ladybug!
It was so cute to see a single small red ladybug sitting among the white and yellow flowers.

While I was having trouble deciding on the composition of the photo, a photographer who was shooting nearby told me the best spots. It is said that if you aim from the bottom of the gentle slope, you can take a picture of a field of chamomiles blooming under a blue sky.
I immediately tried the challenge and was able to take some great photos!

When I commented that the clouds were a bit dark, he replied, ``It looked good a few days ago.'' When I saw the photo posted on Instagram, it was a spectacular view that captured the shape of the clouds perfectly!
I received permission, so please take a look. If you ask, Japan's largest photo posting/viewing Facebook page
He has a history of being selected as one of the top 10 in the Tokyo Camera Club. As expected!

I received the advice that ``Nemophila is often photographed together with trees.''
Having encounters like this is one of the joys of traveling.

A wooden observation deck is installed inside the herb garden.
The observation deck is also picturesque.

The view from the observation deck is amazing!
The breeze and the chirping of birds are so soothing.

In the area named ``Living Garden'', various colorful flowers were blooming. Garden weddings are now available nearby.

After Chamomile Festa, there is Lavender Festa.
It's hard to tell in the photo, but it's starting to turn a slight purple color.

A birdhouse was set up in the tree. MenardAoyamaResort Resort is located in the mountains and seems to be a comfortable environment for birds, whose chirping echoes throughout the garden.

This is a guide map of the herb garden. Depending on the season, you can enjoy a variety of herbs.

Every year, the Chamomile Harvest Festival is held on the last Saturday and Sunday of the Chamomile Festa period. If you participate, you can take home some chamomile. (separate fee required)
There are many ways to enjoy herbs, such as making herbal tea at home or making them into dried flowers.

MenardAoyamaResort Resort is a vast 1,000,000 tsubo (1,000,000 tsubo) site with facilities designed for relaxation and refreshment in an environment full of nature.
After viewing the herb garden, please enjoy the resort feeling to your heart's content with a variety of facilities.
