Rose Park

This famous flower spot is beloved as a symbol of Fukuyama, the "City of Roses." In April 2024, the planting design was completely renewed, evolving the garden into an even more captivating space. Approximately 7,000 colorful flowers of approximately 670 varieties from around the world bloom in profusion within the garden. The "Grand Corridor," lined with large golden arches resembling crowns, combines colorful roses with seasonal flowers, allowing visitors to stroll through the magnificent space while being enveloped in gorgeous fragrances. In the "Stripe Garden," roses of similar colors are planted in stripes, creating a colorful landscape reminiscent of waves of color. You can also enjoy strolls under nine themes, including "Hall of Fame Roses" and "Old Roses." The city's largest event, the Fukuyama Rose Festival, is held every year in mid-May, bringing the entire town to life with a spectacular parade and limited-edition merchandise sales. This beautiful landscape began in 1956 when 1,000 roses were planted by local residents in the hope of post-war reconstruction. It's the perfect place to spend a relaxing holiday in your own style, whether you're relaxing on the lawns or finding your own favorite flower.
