Yuushien on Daikon Island illuminated by electric fairies

Yatsuka(Daikon Island) –  Fall coming brought an illusion to a Japanese garden in Matsue. The garden belongs to a part of Yuushien (由志園)on which the place is located Daikon Island(大根島) in the centre of Nakaumi. The illumination resounded in the Japanese garden, turning into a pageant of illuminant fairies. The fairies’ way the guests walked through was a special attraction on the island, attracting many adventurous people during mid-November.

 

 

Yuushien is also the company’s name and has contributed to the island’s development. In 1975 the company opened its garden to revitalize the island’s economy, which had been sluggish then. Although the island had benefited from selling peonies and Asiatic ginseng until the beginning of the Showa era(about 100 years ago), such a situation became an old story when the company was determined to provide the garden to the island. The contribution by the Yuushien has enabled the islanders to retake their energy which could be seen until the Showa era.
