FLOWER PARK




Tottori Hanakairo Flower Park is one of the largest flower parks in Japan. The park is about 50 hectares in area with a variety of seasonal flowers at a 50 meters flower dome, a flowerbed on water and a European garden. Night viewing of illuminated flowers, called "Moonlight Flower Garden", is very popular. Moonlight Flower Garden is held on Saturday and Sunday from July to August, Christmas season, and summer vacation season.

Open : April-November 9:00-17:00, December-March 9:00-16:30
Close : Tuesday (December-March), December 26th-31st
Entrace fee : April-November 1,000yen, December-March 700yen, Moonlight(after 17:00) 700yen

Its scenery and expressions change with the seasons, thanks to the flowers in bloom and trees in blossom.
Ashikaga Flower Park creates value through exquisite seasonal gardens.

One of the prime attractions of this park is its Japanese wisteria.
The gradual changes though these picturesque blossoms of light pink, purple, white, and yellow trusses conjure up images like those on slowly unfurled picture scrolls.

Each year can be roughly divided into eight thematic chapters.
