The "Fragrant Rose Garden" features roses arranged according to six distinct fragrance characteristics: Damask, Spicy, Myrrh, Fruity, Blue, and Tea. Fragrant varieties, including popular roses with rich scents and those that have won numerous awards for their fragrance in international competitions, are blooming in profusion.
Also, a popular, fragrant bird bath, like a small flower garden, where roses picked in the garden are floated in water, will appear. Please enjoy the different scents with your five senses in a garden enveloped by the rich fragrance of roses.

"Colorful Rose Garden" where you can enjoy a rich variety of roses divided into six colors like a palette.
The "Colorful Rose Garden" focuses on "color," with vivid roses arranged colorfully as if a paint palette has been spread out, featuring colors such as red, blue, blotch (mottled), pink, yellow & apricot, and white.
The individuality of each bloom's color resonates, and the world of color that spreads across your vision with every step is like strolling through an art piece painted with flowers. Please enjoy the harmony played by colors while searching for your favorite.
