Autumn of the park ‘Utsubuki’ of Kurayoshi

The fall colors on Utsubuki park are beautiful.
I went on a picnic near my home, Utsubuki park.
It was a great day for an outing.


















The park’s entrance
They boast about the park.


































Japans’ top 100 a therapeutic walk in the forest
It won three awards.
If you will visit in spring, it is good you go on a visit for seeing cherry blossoms.







































Yellow and red are in perfect harmony.
Beautiful!











































The leaves have fallen and the land is getting red.
Some old couple was enjoying with lunch in the park.

























Utsubuki park was very beautiful in spring and it is good this season as well.
