Chrysanthemum In Echigo Yuzawa Station

Should you find yourself in Echigo-Yuzawa Station soon you will be greeted by a massive display of Chrysanthemum.


All summer long budding gardeners try to grow these blooms that are one of the symbols of Japan, and come autumn, when they are at their peak and in full bloom they are judged and put on display in the station.


The bigger ones grow to an impressive height and are taller than many of the tourists who are strolling past them. These flowers are another sign of autumn and a glance out of the windows of the station shows the surrounding mountains at their very best right now. The leaves are starting to fall which means that winter is just around the corner.
