Nagoya
Whenever possible our excursions focus on botanical gardens and here outside of Nagoya is our first one.
Nabana-no-Sato garden is known for its begonias. These are unbelievable, along with fuchsias and a variety of other plants and flowers, there are so many and so meticulously maintained that they do not look real. The grounds are beautiful and of course, ultra-clean. An added attraction is an observation deck that looks like the old starship Enterprise and rises to viewing height on a long armature.

So many well-cared for begonias; they almost look fake. The quantity is truly unreal.
Yes, all real. Enormous baskets of hanging fuchsias.
