Hamamatsu Flower Park

Hamamatsu Flower Park is a botanical garden situated near Lake Hamana, featuring around 3,000 plant species distributed across multiple themed zones. The grounds are organized with seasonal flower displays and international garden sections.

The park opened in 1970 as a project to create a major horticultural center in the Shizuoka region. This initiative aimed to promote the area's gardening culture and foster interest in flower cultivation.

The November chrysanthemum exhibition displays traditional Japanese cultivation methods, with individual plants grafted to show dozens of varieties. Visitors can observe how this intricate technique requires years of training from gardeners.

The park can be explored using a locomotive-style tour train that connects five different areas. An electric cable car system assists with access to steeper sections of the grounds.

The Crystal Palace greenhouse features year-round exhibitions and houses a special collection of plants displaying the rare Majorelle Blue color. This intense blue shade appears naturally in very few plant species.
