Why You Should Visit

For 52 days from September 18 to November 8, the three municipalities of Kameoka, Nantan and Kyotamba turn into one giant festival of flowers and greenery. Five sites anchor the fair, starting with Kyoto Kameoka Hozugawa Park right by JR Kameoka Station: a main garden by a world-renowned landscape designer, one of western Japan's largest cosmos fields, hot-air balloon rides and bamboo art made from neglected groves. Farm markets and hands-on agriculture round out a day trip just 20 minutes by rapid train from Kyoto Station.

FAQ

Is admission free?

Kyoto Kameoka Hozugawa Park, Kameoka Sports Park, Sonobe Park and Kyoto Prefectural Tamba Nature Park are free to enter. Some facilities charge admission, such as Wachi Wild Grass Garden and the Kameoka Yume Cosmos Garden.

Can I see all five sites in one day?

The five sites span Kameoka, Nantan and Kyotamba, with more than 30 minutes of train travel between some of them. In a single day it is realistic to pick the two sites in Kameoka, or to stay on the Sonobe and Kyotamba side.

Is it good for families with children?

Each site has something for kids outdoors: large play equipment at Sonobe Park, the children's field and adventure athletic park at Tamba Nature Park, and balloon rides at Hozugawa Park.

Can I drive there?

Every site has parking, but the organisers warn that lots are expected to fill on weekends, holidays and event days, and ask visitors to use public transport.
