The orchid garden in Kamimaezu is full of beautiful arrangements. The place is relatively small, but it can take up to an hour or more to fully enjoy everything it has to offer.There is both an interior and an exterior portion to the orchid garden: the majority of the orchids are located inside, but there is plenty of other plant life to enjoy outside as well.
I spent the majority of my time inside the orchid garden itself, taking a multitude of close up pictures of the different flowers (most of which I hadn't seen before). They were all tagged with their scientific names, so I don't remember any of them. Everywhere that I turned, there was a splash of colors varying from purples to whites and reds. I'm not entirely sure how they decided the placements, but it made for a very pleasant atmosphere. Even though there were quite a few people there with me, the placement of the different flowers made it feel very private.
Although I was inside for a long time, outside of the orchid building there was an open space with a very pleasant garden. Miniature waterfalls and lush, vibrant greenery made up almost half of the entire orchid garden complex. There were several pathways that led behind the greenery, some of which had benches to sit on and just soak in the calm, soothing atmosphere of the place. The scenery was picturesque, and the different displays came together very nicely.
Overall, I'd recommend the Orchid Garden to anyone with an interest in spending a relaxing afternoon or evening alone or with another person.
