Sachiki-san, a Samoyed dog who is sensitive
to high temperature, used to stay in an air-conditioned room in the daytime
during summer without going out. Now the weather has gotten cooler, he is able
to go out in the daytime.
I heard that cosmos flowers were in full
bloom on the shores of Lake Gosho, so Sachiki-san and I went to see them.
Lake Gosho is a lake created by Gosho Dam,
located about 15 km west of the center of Morioka City. It is known for Iwate
Morioka Tsunagi Hot Spring located by the lake, but in addition of the hot
spring, the surrounding area is also a regional park that exceeds the municipal
area and has various facilities.
The place to see cosmos now is one of these facilities, the Machiba area park. It is a park with a panoramic view of Mt. Iwate, which includes a center house with a rest room and a study room, a picnic area where you can enjoy a barbecue, playground equipment, and a flower garden. The park is closed from December to March.
Cosmos flowers are blooming on the other side of the center house.
Sachiki-san seems to prefer sniffing the
ground to admiring flowers.
A picnic area and a kitchen building. You
can put up a tent in the picnic area, and you can drive your car to the back of
the kitchen building when loading and unloading.
Next to the picnic area, there are play
equipment and a hill from which you can view the park.
Wild flowers are planted around the hill,
which were the subjects of a paintings by Fukazawa Koko, a painter from Morioka.
