Family Trip

This is from one area of the Flower Park, a large botanical garden.

Here is a large field of various plants.  The foreground of the picture shows some of the ones you can pick for a small price.

Here are some monkeys from the Monkey Jungle, a park with various animals (not just monkeys)...

Another monkey.

The family at the Monkey Jungle.

Miyoshi and I are standing at a lookout point for Sakura Island, a large volcano.  Apparently, the volcano still has some small amount of lava pouring out.  I believe the rocks in the picture are volcanic.

Here is part of the garden from Sengan'en.  The area is immense with various old structures and landscaping.  This place is famous for its use of hydroelectric power from a couple of hundred years ago.

Sengan'en is also known for its well designed garden areas.
