Atami Akao Herb and Rose Garden

Going downs the valley, there are some lovely scenes, made from the lovely flowers and the surrounding mountains. Some areas are based on English rose gardens, but, in England, the rose gardens are surrounded by flat countryside. Here, the rose garden was surrounded by mountains, so I was very much more impressed with the scenery here over England.





Making your way through the rose gardens, you find yourself eventually in the herb gardens and then after that, back down at the shop and then back on to the main road and the car park.



I think the price is a little expensive, but still, it was a really impressive place, with plenty of gardens cleverly designed and built into the limited space. The highlights are the swing, the roses, the pleasant feeling of the place in general, the sea view with hammocks to rest in, the herbs, and the lavender ice cream, which isn't really lavender flavour and I suppose that's a good thing.


A very nice couple of relaxed hours can be had here enjoying the scenery.
