Full bloom at Tsukuba`s Peony Garden ( Tsukuba Botan En ) now called the Peony Garden Tokyo
My friends and I had long been planning to visit the Tsukuba Botan-En (つくば牡丹園), the nationally renowned peony garden located in Tsukuba`s Kukizaki District. Not only were we looking forward to seeing the flowers which bloom there, but we had some free tickets, to boot! However, because of our schedules and the weather, we just never got around to actually going there- until today, that is.
