Showa Kinen Park

The tulip garden, a key attraction of the park, is full of colorful tulips and Muscari flowering along the stream on the west side of the Open Field. The garden is modeled after the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands. Depending on the year, you can even see the tulips blooming together with cherry blossoms. Springtime is the most gorgeous time of the year for Showa Kinen Park as canola flowers, cherry blossoms, tulips, and poppies bloom one after another.

The Japanese Garden was created to celebrate the marriage of the Emperor and Empress of Japan. With a pond in the center surrounded by a strolling path, the garden provides a calming atmosphere no matter when you visit. The seasons of fresh greenery, fall foliage, and "yukitsuri" (placing of ropes or wires around trees to protect them from snow) are especially recommended. The garden also includes facilities such as the National Museum of Bonsai and Kanpu-tei, where you can enjoy matcha tea and seasonal sweets.
