Located in Sabae City, Fukui, Nishiyama Park is famous for its 50,000 azaleas which will fully bloom in May. However, I didn't know there was also a night-time light up of the park during azalea season. So one day during a Golden Week Holiday in early May, I visited the park to enjoy the illuminated azaleas for the first time. After appreciating the unexpectedly dramatic sunset over the western mountains, I strolled inside the park to take photos of the lit-up azaleas under deep-blue twilight sky. It was just magical and furthermore, I could capture Jupiter in the sky, too. If you visit Nishiyama Park at dusk in May, you can enjoy charming azaleas, a gorgeous sunset and the illuminated park at magical twilight...a threefold pleasure will be waiting for you!
