• 333 varieties and 573 strains of roses beautifully adorn the spring garden, celebrating its 10th anniversary

Nerima Ward Shiki-no-Kaori Rose Garden celebrates its 10th anniversary this year since its opening in 2016. In this milestone year, the garden will reach its peak spring season*, where roses bloom most splendidly and colorfully, as if celebrating this special year with all visitors.

Spring roses are characterized by their large, impressive blooms, as they store energy during their winter dormancy and grow slowly until spring. The garden features the symbol rose "Shiki-no-Kaori," which spreads a refreshing tea fragrance, as well as the "Scented Rose Garden" where visitors can enjoy six types of fragrances including damask and spicy, and the "Colorful Rose Garden" which paints a palette of colors, mainly red and pink. These gardens envelop visitors with the rich scents and vibrant beauty of spring roses. Admission is free, and the garden is conveniently located near Hikarigaoka Station on the Oedo Line. During the festival, the closing time will be extended by one hour from the usual 5 PM to 6 PM, allowing visitors to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the garden.

*The best time to see roses is usually from mid to late May (flowering period may vary depending on the climate).

• Various events including a 10th-anniversary ceremony and popular garden tours will be held

To commemorate the 10th anniversary, an exchange ceremony of symbol roses with Maebashi City's Shikishima Park Kadokura Techno Rose Garden, which has an agreement with Nerima Ward for disaster relief, and talk shows by successive chief gardeners are planned.

Additionally, events such as popular garden tours where Daiichi Engei's gardeners guide participants through the garden while explaining the charm of roses will be held. At the Shiki-no-Kaori Market & Cafe, which will be open daily during the festival, new original goods will be sold to commemorate the 10th anniversary, and the popular rose soft serve will be renewed into a rose shape.
