Iris Viewing
It’s no great secret that Japanese people have a thing about flowers, and the blooming of the irises in the mid-June rainy season is seen as the traditional harbinger of summer. Just about all of the city’s traditional gardens – including the popular Meiji Jingu inner garden – will be filled to bursting with cameras, tripods and amateur photographers, but if you can see past them, the iris flowers are actually quite spectacular.
