KAGO LIFE_Spring

We enjoyed spring at the Kagoshima City Agriculture Center!
Article by Rebecca

We took Rikinion, one of Kagoshima City’sMagnion characters, with us to enjoy therapeseed flowers in the “Four Seasons
Flower Garden”

You can come by bus!

I was moved at how big the flower field is!
（These rapeseed flowers last until early April. You can see different flowers every season!)

You can see different flowers each season – rapeseed in spring, sunflowers
in summer, and cosmos in fall – in the 8000 ㎡ Four Seasons Flower Garden.
We went on a very sunny day, and with butterflies fluttering about, it
really felt like spring. I think it’s perfect for a walk, a picnic with friends orfamily, or taking Instagram-worthy photos! Buses also run to and fromthe Center on weekends and national holidays! For more details, please
Rikinion enjoyed the flowers too ♪
