Horikiri Iris Garden

The 8,747-square-meter garden presents 6,000 Japanese iris plants from 200 different varieties, arranged along winding paths and small ponds.

The garden, established in 1975, continues a tradition dating to the Muromachi period when iris cultivation began with specimens from Asaka Marsh.

The garden appears in numerous Edo-period woodblock prints, including works by Utagawa Hiroshige, documenting its status as a cultural landmark.

The garden opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with extended hours from June 1-25, and includes a traditional meeting facility called Seikantei.

Each June, the garden displays rare iris varieties such as Juunihitoe, Suibijin, and Geishobiui during the Katsushika Iris Festival.
