Flower shop Aoyama Flower Market (https://www.aoyamaflowermarket.com), cafe Aoyama Flower Market TEA HOUSE, and flower school hana-kichi, all operated by Park Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hideaki Inoue), are marking "Jugoya" (the mid-autumn harvest moon) on Friday, September 25, 2026 with limited-edition moon-inspired bouquets and arrangements, special menus, and lessons.
A Moment to Admire the Beautiful Moon
Otsukimi, or moon-viewing, is an autumn tradition that has long been cherished in Japan. It began as a way to give thanks for the harvest and pray for a bountiful crop, and the custom of watching the moon while enjoying the changing seasons continues today. Jugoya, when the air is said to be clearest and the moon at its most beautiful, falls on Friday, September 25 in 2026. In recent years, more people have been enjoying the seasonal occasion in ways that suit their own lifestyle, from traditional decorations to Otsukimi-themed sweets and food.
Aoyama Flower Market: Bouquets and Arrangements That Color Autumn Under the Moonlit Sky
For Otsukimi, Aoyama Flower Market is offering bouquets and arrangements that carefully combine the colors and textures of autumn: vivid yellow pom-pom mums evoking a full moon, deep blue gentians reflecting a clear night sky, and pampas grass swaying in the breeze.
An original pick shaped like a moon rabbit adds a small playful touch within the otherwise refined look.
"Otsukimi Bouquet"
"Otsukimi Arrangement" / "Hibotan Mixed Planter"
Otsukimi Bouquet – Reference price: ¥1,980 (tax included)
A full moon floating in the night sky is expressed with yellow pom-pom mums, and a deep, clear autumn night with gentians, while supple pampas grass and burnet add the feel of an autumn breeze. Placed in a vase at home, it brings a quiet autumn scene into the room. The bouquet is wrapped in an original paper design with a moonlit night sky on the outside and the yellow of a beautiful full moon on the inside.
Otsukimi Arrangement – Reference price: ¥2,750 (tax included)
Pom-pom mums, gentians, and pampas grass are arranged loosely in a soft yellow, bowl-shaped container inspired by the moon. The warmth of the rounded container and the crisp presence of the autumn grasses complement each other, bringing a natural touch to dining tables, entryways, living rooms, and other modern living spaces.
Hibotan Mixed Planter – Reference price: ¥2,530 (tax included)
A mixed planter pairing the yellow cactus "hibotan," which resembles a floating full moon, with the succulent "moon rabbit ear (golden rabbit)," whose fuzzy down evokes a rabbit's ears. A single pot to enjoy watching the plants grow, staying close to everyday life from autumn onward.

Enjoying Both Jugoya and Jusanya
Otsukimi comes around twice in the year: not only on Jugoya, Friday, September 25, but also on Jusanya, Friday, October 23. Japan has long had a custom of admiring the moon on both occasions, and Aoyama Flower Market is proposing a lifestyle attuned to deepening autumn from Jugoya through to Jusanya.
