Tawarayama Rhododendron Garden” will soon be at its best.

Earlier than usual flowering

This year, too, the Tawarayama Rhododendron Garden in the Tawarayama district of Nagato City is open.

More than 30,000 rhododendrons of 170 varieties bloom beautifully, and the park is a popular tourist spot that attracts many visitors when the flowers are in full bloom.

The standard time for viewing the blossoms is usually around April 20, but due to the mild winter, the blooming has progressed considerably as of April 10 (Fri.).

In addition, this year, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the rhododendron bus service and the sale of specialty products in tents were suspended.

Only rhododendron viewing is allowed.

For more information, go to the "Enjoy" page.

For more information, including blooming conditions and access, please visit Tawarayama Shakunage-en.

This site will have a page to provide information on the blooming status of rhododendrons and azaleas following the cherry blossoms.

We hope you will find this information useful when you visit Nagato City.
