Ancient Lotus Garden

A garden for early risers

A dark pink bud closes up later in the afternoon

A large white lotus in the lower half of the garden

Lotus plants thrive in the waters under the garden's wisteria trellises

The best time to see the flowers is in the early morning

The path through the garden extends for about half a kilometer

Leafy lotus plants grow in the garden's meandering stream

The garden outside the Kumamoto Prefectural Burial Mounds Museum may attract more crowds for its beautiful wisteria display, but the summer months bring a new look to the garden as lotus plants throng the meandering waterways. The best time to come is in the early morning, when the delicate buds open up to greet the sun; they close themselves off again by early afternoon. The garden, which is always free to enter, hosts an ongoing lotus festival from late June to the first weekend in August. A small onsite market sells fresh local produce and drinks to combat the humidity.
