Ryogakuincho Park is located next to the Ryokusuian (see the previous diary).
In this park, there were some Japanese Aralia plants and they flowered.
Many syrphid flys came to the flowers.

There is a japanese-style tea room, Ryokusuian, in Aoba-ku Sendai, Japan.
The Ryokusuian has small japanese-style garden with a pond, various trees and plants, and some stone lanterns.
Unfortunately, today the garden was closed because this Ryokusuian tea room and garden is opened only two days of tuesday a month.
So, I took photos over the wall from outside.

This photo was taken at Katahira campus of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
The red color of leaves is not so bright this year maybe due to relatively high temperature in the start of autumn season.
