Fukuyama Big Rose, Annual rose festival in Fukuyama, Japan
The Fukuyama Rose Festival features over one million roses spread across multiple parks, including Bara Koen, Midoricho Park, and Chuo Park in mid-May.
The festival emerged after World War II when residents planted 1,000 rose seedlings in response to the devastation caused by air raids in August 1945.
Fukuyama received official recognition as the City of One Million Roses during its centenary celebrations in 2016, marking its dedication to rose cultivation.
Visitors can reach the festival venues within 15 minutes by walking from Fukuyama Station, which connects to the Sanyo Shinkansen and local train lines.
The World Rose Convention in May 2025 will gather 700 international rose specialists at the Hiroshima Prefectural Fukuyama Industry Exchange Center.
