The Rokko Alpine Botanical Garden is currently celebrating the peak bloom of 'Kurinso' (Primula japonica), the largest species of its genus in Japan. The flowers form a vibrant pink carpet across the marshy grounds, creating a breathtaking early summer landscape. The bloom is expected to last until late May. Additionally, the garden is hosting the 'Hanabiyori' event until July 12. Visitors can also explore the 'Harmony of Garden' fair at the nearby ROKKO Forest Sound Museum, featuring outdoor art installations by world-renowned artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Yoshitomo Nara alongside mechanical music performances.
