A Cape Filled With Wild Narcissus Flowers in January

As I wrote in my previous post, winter is also a nice season to visit seaside areas since it is less busy. Moreover you can enjoy some winter seasonal beauties. 

These photos were taken at Tsumekisaki Cape in Shimoda City, Shizuoka prefecture. As you can see in the photos, this place is filled by narcissus flowers in January. They are a wild narcissus. Such a place where a wild narcissus grow gregariously would be rare, so many people visit this place during winter.

Most of those who visited here enjoy to have a short walking among the narcissus flowers and they can enjoy the beautiful outlook from the hill of the cape, too. On the tip of the cape, there is a lighthouse watching the Pacific Ocean. 

The red flowers on outer edge of narcissus flowers are Aloe. Aloe has been planted in this area since old times. Local people used to use it as a medicine for stomach problem and cuts.  Nowadays it is used for tea, cooking, and an aroma bath and those products are available at souvenir shops around there.
