I visited Gyoda on 9th August 2025 for the Demon Slayer rice field art, but coincidentally discovered this beautiful Lotus Museum. It turned out to be a wonderful surprise, I got to learn so many new and interesting things!
I actually came to see the Tanbo Art (a huge fan of Kimetsu, yes I am)
But truly, the lotus here is so pretty. It give you calmness and soothing to the eyes. It feels like being caress or pat on the shoulder after working hars. It is goos to be there. There is many stall that sell food and drinks. The tenants is all kind and warm. And there is one souvenir's shop that you must visit. They sell anything about lotus or about the tower there.

Favourite spot for lotus viewing!
In 2025, the rice field art is Tanjirou! It's gorgeous! There's a huge line, so keep that in mind! We visited on 19th July! The lotus are in full bloom!
Visited the rice paddy art in the end of September. The peak season for the lotus flowers and art is the end of July, but the trip to see the rice art is more than worth it. The scale of it is an impressive site in person. Photos do not do this place justice.
The lotus museum/information center below the tower was quite interesting as well! There is lots to do in this area so I recommend making a day trip and visiting the castle and other parks nearby!
