Awaji Hanasajiki, Flower garden in Awaji Island, Japan.
Awaji Hanasajiki is a flower garden on Awaji Island with beds spread across hillside terraces overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The garden displays tulips, sunflowers, poppies, and chrysanthemums in rotating seasonal displays throughout the year.
The garden opened in 1988 and quickly became a major attraction on Awaji Island. It underwent significant expansion about 10 years later to accommodate growing visitor numbers.
The garden reflects how Japanese culture celebrates seasonal changes through flowers, with each bloom type holding meaning in the local calendar. Visitors can see how carefully the plantings are organized, showing the importance placed on harmony between human effort and nature.
The garden is set on elevated terrain, so visitors should be prepared for walking on slopes and stepped paths. The best time to visit is during the blooming seasons from spring through autumn when most flowers are at their peak.
A modern skyway connects different areas of the garden and leads to viewing platforms overlooking the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Kobe skyline, and Osaka Bay. These elevated walkways offer both convenience and entirely new vantage points for seeing the flower beds and surrounding landscape.
