Episode of Osaka Maishima Baby Blue Eyes Festival
Tomo&Chouchou went to Maishima Nemophila Festival during Golden week (=Japanese national holiday in May) so it was very crowded. We went there by bus from cosmo square station. There was a long line to ride a bus. We could succeed to ride a bus. We arrived at "Hotel Lodge Maishima Mae" bus stop. Then we walked to Maishima Seaside Park.
We had to line up to buy a ticket. It was a very long queue. It was faster than we expected. We finally got a ticket to enter Nemophila Festival.
As soon as we passed the entrance, we could see the blue beautiful world in front of us! Small little pretty blue flowers were like the blue sea. We quickly forgot the tiredness of long queue because of the beatuy of nemophila.
We could walk inside the park. We could see the Osaka Bay and Yodo river from the park. We could see the bridges far from the park. While walking, we found orange poppies. There was a small surprise!
It was a quiet place of Osaka city. It was the peaceful moment. We could enjoy Baby Blue Eyes a lot at Maishima Seaside Park. It was crowded anyway because of Golden week but it was the good place to spend with family and friends.
Tomo&Chouchou's advice for Nemophila Festival
On the way to go back to the station, we had to wait a lot to ride a bus. Buses were late because of the traffic jam. It was very tiring. We thought about taking different buses or taking a taxi. We were stuck at Maishima. It might be better go there by private car. The best way to go there might be by motor bike.
