Kuwana City in Mie Prefecture is the home of the well known “hanahiroba” flower garden Nabana no Sato. Displays different kinds of flowers during different seasons, everybody can enjoy a soothing weekend with that seasons’ flower display.
Featured flower Ajisai

When we went was an Ajisai Display season”hutaru” (firefly watching) event when gets dark at the hanahiroba area. Perfect for a romantic getaway with your loveydovey or with the whole family.
The entrance to the flower square during summer months. This area is often the illuminating area during winter season.
Catch the beauty on each season with Nabana No Sato and spa at Nagashima Onsen. There are lots of attractions that you can choose. From shopping to amusement parks, you can have an excellent time at Kuwana!
I love flowers. And I equally love visiting flower gardens. This one looks beautiful. The flowers are in full bloom. And looking at the pictures I can see why the Japanese style of flower arrangements are famous the world over
There is something about flowers that wants me to slow down, smell them and gaze at them. Loved the pictures, the arrangements are so beautiful. These are open only during winters ? In Bangalore, we have our own flower show during Jan and Aug which lasts for a week.
Just returned form Japan. the whole country is like a giant amusement park with so much to do. Loved the Nabano no Sati flower garden pictures. Saw similar ones in Kyoto too. Loved the post!
The garden looks like an enchanting fairyland. The lights make the place even more gorgeous. I was reminded of a garden in Bangalore called Lal Bagh where we have these flower shows when thousands of exotic flowers are exhibited.
What a lovely blooming garden! I happen to be a botanical-garden-fanatic myself, I fond it so peaceful and relaxing, I always feel inspired and so happy to walk through a place like that! Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous flowers. I love how Japan has this amazing variety of all kinds of flowers. I was there in May this year and saw wisterias, cherry blossoms, (the beginning of) hydrangeas, tulips and what not! Spring in Japan is beautiful.
There is something to be said about the beauty of flowers and what they bring to a persons life. I may never get to see this in person but am so glad I get to see it vicariously
some really great pics of the flowers here, I've been to some really gorgeous gardens on my travels, I have a friend who would really love to see this.
Oh my god, I live in Japan yet I have never got the chance to visit Mie Prefecture. Will definitely pen this down as my next to go place!
Really! You have to visit this Wynne ? You will love it for sure, esp the illuminations during winter!
It seems an other to think to add to my visit to Japan

This garden is like wonderland with so many colorful flowers. Ajisai is my favorite one as it so big and nice bloom. This place is really a paradise.
Wow what a gorgeous garden! Especially the night reflexion from the trees! Worth a visit when passing by so I will add it to my list!
This is so pretty! I think the center of the garden is my favorite!! 🙂

How beautiful and lush – the centre of that garden is especially stunning!
Hi Swati, no, it is open everyday, each season has it's own theme and featured flowers but the illuminations are only visible during winter
Hi Sreekar! Really! Yes, Kyoto is also a worth to visit! Thank you 🙂
Hi Linda! Thanks, Japan is an amazing country, hope you have the chance to come 🙂
