Join me on a walk around Lake Hyoko, famously known as “Swan Lake,” set amongst the picturesque landscapes of Agano City in Niigata, Japan. I also explore the vibrant atmosphere of the annual Iris Festival.
Known as a sanctuary for swans, Lake Hyoko offers a breathtaking spectacle as hundreds of these magnificent birds gather here during the winter season, creating an awe-inspiring sight that is truly a feast for the eyes.
The Iris Festival is simultaneously happening in the side garden. The park bursts into a riot of colors as thousands of iris flowers bloom in a breathtaking display. Hundreds of lanterns are installed along the pathway to illuminate the garden at night.
