This celebration of Japan’s imperial flower includes planted beds, as well as displays.
What happens?
The garden is maintained beautifully and their seasonal displays are well worth the ¥500 entry fee alone. There is a competitive element to the show so there will be prize givings and classes on gardening too. Expect rows of perfectly trained giant blossoms, miniature bonsai versions, and Edo-era “classic” varieties showing off their quirky shapes.
Another highlight is the Kamiyo float, a wooden cart decorated with hundreds of chrysanthemums that the staff builds each year.
