Meaning Chrysanthemum Exhibition, the Kikkaten is an annual celebration of the seasonal flower. As the flower of the Imperial Family, the flower has a certain prestige about it, and what better place to admire it than one of Tokyo’s grandest shrines. This exhibition has a vast array of flowers from rare kinds to bonsai versions and adds an added level of beauty to the grounds as you explore.
