Sharing a post from last month by the Public Relations and Communications Division of the Iwate Prefectural Government. The purple wisteria at Geibikei are blooming earlier this year. Beautiful at this time and at any time of the year, Geibikei is one place where ILC researchers from abroad have stopped to relax in their visits to the Kitakami candidate site.
岩手県の広聴広報課の英語版のページの投稿をシェアさせていただきます。今年は猊鼻渓での藤の花が早めに咲いています。他の季節も美しい猊鼻渓はILCの外国人研究者が北上サイトの視察に来た際にこちらで休憩されたことがあります。
I was thinking you might be weary of all of these cherry blossom photos, so here's some purple wisteria blooming last year in Geibikei Gorge in Ichinoseki! The wisteria blooms towards the end of May every year, which is a great time to visit Iwate. It's warm, but there's still a cool breeze in the air that feels very comfortable. You can ride a small boat up the Geibikei Gorge to enjoy the spring weather, and even throw a special stone in the water for good luck.
Geibikei is open year-round, but I hear wisteria season is the best!
