Rainy Day Bliss at Manyo Botanical Gardens

#aprilblooms Even though it was raining during my visit to Manyo Botanical Gardens, the beauty of the blooming wisteria totally made up for it! The soft petals and sweet scent felt like a gentle hug from nature — honestly, it was kind of magical in the rain. This garden is right next to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, so it’s easy to include in a day out in Nara. It’s peaceful, photogenic, and full of seasonal flowers that change throughout the year. Rain or shine, it’s a lovely place to slow down and soak in the beauty. Why You Should Visit: ✔ Beautiful seasonal blooms like wisteria — especially soothing in spring. ✔ Peaceful garden atmosphere, perfect even on rainy days. 📍Address: 160 Kasuganocho, Nara, 630-8212 #nara #japan #manyobotanicalgardens #springflowers #wisteriavibes
