Seasoned gardener or curious beginner, this is a petal-packed celebration for everyone.
What happens?
This Yokohama Flower and Garden Festival showcases a stunning array of floral displays and innovative gardening techniques.
At its heart is a botanical installation that invites visitors to imagine future gardens that live in harmony with nature. There will be dreamy rose displays — including trending Yokohama varieties and French favorites — and even Japan’s top cut rose competition. You don’t have to know the Latin names to feel the care.
Yokohama’s own gardening community also takes a bow here, from neighborhood park volunteers to bonsai hobbyists. And if you’re less of a plant expert and more of a hands-on dabbler, there are workshops in everything from origami florals to DIY perfumery — no green thumb required.
Schedule 2025
The festival will be held from May 3 to 5, at Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Hall A & B. The event goes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 3 and 4, but ends an hour early at 4 p.m. on May 5.
Tickets 2025
Tickets are priced at ¥1,500 for advance purchases and ¥1,800 for same-day admission. Children aged junior high school and younger can enter for free. Certain workshops may require additional fees, such as the flower and greenery potting experience, priced between ¥700 and ¥1,000.
How to get there
