Why You Should Visit
A free, one-day greenery festival in Daisen Park, next to the World Heritage Mozu tomb cluster, now in its 69th edition. On the Great Lawn, the IKENOBOYS, an ikebana group produced by the Ikenobo school, give a flower-arranging performance, alongside guitar and taishogoto music. Kids can try plane-shaving crafts and mini bouquet making, play sports like mölkky, and there are seedling stalls and food trucks. The Daisen Park Japanese Garden is open free of charge for the day.
