About Ibaraki Flower Park
Ibaraki Flower Park opened in 1985 and underwent a renewal reopening in spring 2021. The park features areas dedicated to over 900 varieties of roses, including the "Rose Terrace," "Color-Sorted Roses," "Fragrance Roses," and "Rose Tunnel," alongside forests and hills where seasonal flowers and plants can be enjoyed year-round.
The park also offers around 100 seasonal "100 Experiences" activities using the park's flowers and natural surroundings, a restaurant inspired by the concept of "being invited to a rose farm," and a marketplace and café featuring rose-themed products. The concept of the renewed Ibaraki Flower Park is to provide a rich experience that stimulates all five senses — seeing, smelling, tasting, touching, and hearing — rather than simply viewing flowers.
