Why You Should Visit

An annual autumn celebration of flowers and greenery in Otemae Park, Himeji — 2026 is its 8th edition. Over 40 stalls line the park on both days: flowering plants, wild alpines, succulents and cacti, workshops for moss terrariums and flower arranging, and food stalls serving local yakisoba and Himeji's "ekisoba" station noodles. Visitors can vote in a container-garden contest, walk through a flower-and-green maze and see the work vehicles that look after the city's parks. Free entry, held rain or shine — good for gardeners hunting for autumn and winter plants, or families looking for a day in the park.
