Suigō Itako Iris Garden

The Suigō Itako Iris Garden displays one million iris plants representing 500 different varieties across its carefully designed landscape and water channels.

The garden officially opened in April 1976 and has since developed into a major horticultural destination in the Ibaraki Prefecture of Japan.

During the annual festival, traditional ceremonies feature brides in white kimonos traveling by sappa boats through the garden's waterways each Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Located three minutes from Itako Station on the JR Kashima Line, the garden welcomes visitors from late May to late June when iris flowers reach full bloom.

The garden combines water features with flower displays, creating reflections of purple, white, and yellow iris blossoms in its network of canals.
