In Matsuda’s Yadoriki area, a huge field of over 1,000 wintersweet shrubs can be found.
What happens?
During this period countless yellow flowers will bloom, providing a unique sight, and a distinct lovely fragrance. In past years, over 20,000 people attended with a small souvenir area and cafe. Be sure to check in advance during snow as it may be canceled. The entry fee of ¥500 (adults only, children get in for free) is put towards the care of the park and the winter seedlings.
Schedule 2026
This year’s schedule is yet to be confirmed, but in 2025, the festival went from January 18 to February 16.
How to get there
The garden is around a 2-hour trip from Shinjuku Station. Take the Odakyu Line to Shin-Matsuda Station (1 hour and 15 minutes) and then grab the 51 bus (25 minutes) to the Udumo stop. The garden is around a 10-minute walk from there.
