- 333 varieties and 573 plants of roses bloom in the spring garden to celebrate the 10th anniversary
The Nerima Ward Shikino Kaori Rose Garden marks its 10th anniversary this year since opening in 2016. In this milestone year, the park welcomes the peak of spring, when roses bloom in their most gorgeous and colorful state, as if celebrating this commemorative year together with all the visitors.
Spring roses are characterized by large, striking blooms because they store energy thoroughly during their winter dormancy and take their time to grow until spring. Inside the park, visitors are enveloped by the rich fragrance and glamorous charm of spring roses. This includes the 'Fragrance Rose Garden', where you can enjoy 6 different scents such as damask and spicy, centered around the symbol rose 'Shikino Kaori' that gives off a refreshing tea scent, and the 'Color Rose Garden', which creates a palette-like display of colors focusing on reds and pinks. Admission is free, and it is located close to Hikarigaoka Station on the Oedo Line. During the festival period, the park's closing time is extended by one hour from the usual 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the garden.
*The best time to see the roses is usually from mid to late May (blooming times may vary depending on the weather).
- A variety of events, including 10th-anniversary ceremonies and popular garden tours
To commemorate the 10th anniversary, there will be an exchange of symbol roses with the Shikishima Park Kadokura Techno Rose Garden in Maebashi City, which has a disaster agreement with Nerima Ward, as well as talk shows by successive chief gardeners.
