[First Spring Since Renewal] Gunma Flower Park Plus Hosts Inaugural "Sakura Week." Proposing "Experiential Cherry Blossom Viewing" with Rare Green Cherry Blossoms, DIY Sakura Bouquets, Local Japanese Confectionery Markets, and Regional Collaboration with Akagi Nanmen Senbonzakura.

Gunma Flower Park Plus (2471-7 Kashiwakura-machi, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture *1) will host its first major spring event since its renewal, "Sakura Week," from Saturday, April 11, 2026, to Sunday, April 26, 2026.

During this event, amidst a landscape featuring Somei Yoshino, double-flowered cherry blossoms, and the rare green "Gyoiko" cherry blossoms, we offer a variety of "experiential cherry blossom viewing" activities that go beyond just looking. These include workshops where you can pick your own flowers to create bouquets and a market featuring popular local Japanese confectionery shops. Furthermore, through collaboration with the nearby "Akagi Nanmen Senbonzakura," we will work together as a region to celebrate spring at the southern foot of Mount Akagi.

*1 Gunma Flower Park Plus

A prefectural facility in Gunma that opened in 1992 and has been loved by many residents. After a closure starting in 2023, it reopened in October 2025 with the concept of "Enjoy! Playing with Flowers." It has been reborn as a facility where visitors can experience not only traditional viewing but also various ways to play with flowers using all five senses.
