關西7處紫藤花名勝。春天紫色花卉爭艷綻放之所
日本的春天是鮮花盛開的季節！很多人在想到日本春天的花朵時可能會想到櫻花，但紫藤花是日本人熟悉的春天的花朵，甚至在和歌詩中也有記載。觀賞伊斯特利亞花的最佳時間是櫻花凋落之後。即使在櫻花結束之後，我們仍然希望遊客看到一些日本的風景！ *參觀一些景點需要入場費和禮拜費。詳情請查看各景點官網。 -INDEX- [大阪，福島-ku] 下福島公園等 [大阪， 東住吉] 長井植物園 [兵庫縣丹波市] Byakugou-ji 寺 [寶塚-shi， 兵庫縣] 中山寺 [京都，宇治] 平等院 [京都，伏見] Jounangu [奈良] 春日大社 神社 即使在城市中心也可以看到紫藤花。大阪梅田地區附近的福島區和野田地區，大約600年來一直被稱為富士樹的著名之地。這也是紫藤花（富士）的標準日語名稱是「nodafuji」的地方。 野田的紫藤花在二戰期間的一次空襲中幾乎完全消失，但在當地居民的努力下，現在已經恢復了。這些花朵每年在病房的29個地點盛開，包括公園和公共設施。 特別是，下福島公園的紫藤棚架數量最多，值得一看。阪神野田站前的廣場也風景如畫，紫藤花的紫色色調與城市景觀形成了奇妙的對比。 通常的觀賞時間：4月中旬 「長井植物園」的藍色和淺紫色花朵在照片中看起來很棒。Nemophila是近年來在日本流行的春季花卉，在佔地約2,000平方米的生命花園中盛開。在它旁邊，在4月中旬，野田藤（紫藤花）盛開著淡紫色的花朵，使這裡成為遊客可以同時看到所有流行花朵的地方。 長井植物園距離梅田、心齋橋和難波只有一趟地鐵車程。從市中心很容易到達，遊客一年四季都可以遇到各種各樣的植物、樹木和花卉。永久的夜間戶外博物館「Team Lab Botanical Garden Osaka」也很受歡迎！ ▼欲瞭解更多資訊，請點擊這裡。 teamLab植物園的亮點和活動 大阪 通常的觀賞時間：4月中旬（Nemophila：4月中旬至5月上旬） 沒有人不被白溝寺的紫藤花所感動！從大阪站乘坐火車和計程車到白溝寺大約需要2小時20分鐘，但風景如此壯觀，會讓您無言以對。前任住持大約在30年前種植了這種紫藤花，花簇長達1米多。紫藤格子的體積是壓倒性的，因為它們在120米的廣闊區域內以L形設置。紫藤花像陣雨一樣從頭頂傾瀉而下。到了晚上，該地區被照亮了。被照亮的紫藤花就像天空中拖曳的北極光。 通常的觀賞時間：5月上旬至中中山寺以其肥沃和安全的分娩而聞名。它位於寶塚，溫泉泉水噴涌而出。在寺廟的“星之弘”有一個80米長的紫藤格子，從4月中下旬開始，紫藤花盛開。紫藤在日本最常見，但中山寺的特點是白色紫藤。如果你在陽光明媚的日子里參觀，它們看起來像漂浮在藍天上的雲！空氣中也飄蕩著紫藤花的甜美香氣。 通常觀賞時間：4月中下旬 建於1053年的平等院鳳凰殿是10日元硬幣上描繪的著名地標，是作為遊客訪問京都的必看景點。擁有時令鮮花的平等院花園，以及建在池塘中間的鳳凰殿和池塘另一邊的山景，是人們在建造寺廟時所設想的天堂的形象。春天，池塘裡開滿了盛開的紫藤花，與華麗的鳳凰廳相得益彰。這是一個真正的天堂般的環境，具有不容錯過的優雅日本風味。 通常觀賞時間：4月中旬至5月上旬，城南古是遊客可以欣賞時令花卉的地方。寺院內有五個花園，每年在“室町之丹羽”花園中盛開紫藤花，這是一個帶有池塘的圓形花園的花園。在春天，有很多值得一看的地方，因為不僅紫藤花，而且地面上的山吹樹和杜鵑花也在同一時間開花。此外，還有“紫藤神子神樂”表演（免費入場），其中巫女手裡拿著紫藤樹枝，頭上戴著一簇紫藤花冠，表演神樂舞，如果您收到“紫藤花符”，巫女會用神樂鈴（每個護身符1,000日元）淨化你。在這裡，遊客不僅可以欣賞鮮花，還可以享受“體驗”。 通常觀賞時間：4月下旬紫藤神樂：2024年5月1日至6日、11日、12日、18日、19日、25日和26日每天10：00和15：00兩次 春日大社神社是奈良的主要旅遊景點之一，其美麗的神社亭被塗成鮮豔的朱紅色，被指定為世界遺產。紫藤花是春日大社的重要花卉，甚至被用於神社的徽章。紫藤花在神社內野生生長，主殿的「砂昧紫藤」被稱為名樹。此外，萬葉樹植物園還種植了約300種與日本最古老的詩集《萬葉集》相關的花卉和植物，種植了20個品種的約200株紫藤花，讓遊客瞭解花朵的形狀、大小和顏色因品種而異。 通常的觀賞時間：4月中旬至5月上旬 自古以來，日本人就對季節的變化很敏感。難道你不認為紫藤花的優雅和端莊的印象與日本的和諧形象有關嗎？請參觀可以看到紫藤花的日式風景的地方。
