Ibaraki Flower Park

Ibaraki Flower Park is a large garden featuring many rose varieties organized by color, fragrance, and theme across different areas. The grounds include shops selling flowers and gifts, dining options, and quiet spots to rest among the plantings.

The park was founded in 1985 as a way to promote flower culture in the region. Its creation occurred during a period of growing interest in botanical exhibitions and horticultural education in eastern Japan.

Roses hold special meaning in Ibaraki Prefecture, and this park celebrates that connection throughout its grounds. Visitors walk slowly between the flowers, drawn to the different colors and scents that define each section.

Getting there takes about 20 minutes by taxi from Ishioka Station or by car from the nearby expressway interchange. The grounds are best explored on foot, with shaded paths and plenty of places to sit throughout your visit.

Throughout the year the park hosts specialized workshops where visitors can learn to make rose fragrances and infused oils. These hands-on experiences give visitors a new perspective on how roses are used in daily practices.
