Spring wildflowers

At the cultural park, you can see various types of cherry blossoms, including Somei Yoshino, as well as seasonal flowers.

We display a "Flower Calendar" at each entrance gate, which provides information about the plants in the garden. Why not enjoy a pleasant stroll through the garden while looking at the "Flower Calendar"?

About your visit

While we have bicycle parking spaces available near Main Gate entrance, space is limited. Due to anticipated congestion during cherry blossom season, we kindly request your cooperation in using public transportation whenever possible.

We look forward to your visit.
