The rose garden at Jindai Botanical Park, which has won the "World Federation of Rose Societies Award for Garden Excellence," is a must-see. The roses are in full bloom twice a year, in spring and autumn, with about 400 species and 5,200 plants in the spring and about 300 varieties and 5,000 plants in the autumn, creating a graceful landscape. There are three areas where you can see roses: the "Main Garden," which is symmetrically arranged like a European garden, the "Wild Species and Old Rose Garden," which is modeled after the rose garden at Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Agriculture and Forestry, and the "International Rose Competition Flower Bed," where roses are cultivated for competition prototypes. Since you will be walking over a wide area, it is recommended that you wear comfortable clothes. Every year, a Rose Festival is held to coincide with the peak season in spring and autumn. There are plenty of events, such as early morning opening when the scent of roses is strong, concerts surrounded by the scent of roses, and the sale of rose-flavored soft serve ice cream at the cafe terrace.
