Shoko's Tulip Garden — Attraction in Gonohe

30 mins from sky plaza Worth the drive ! So many variations of flowers! (If the owner may please let me know the total amount of variations there please do!)

Nice one-way traffic flow

Parking: very organized and well-manned. If you like early starts it might be the best time to go!

It was a bit windy, but it did not take away all the beautiful flowers that were there !

From parking lot, very short path to garden. 300 💴 entrance fee / person

You can purchase some plants for 100 💴 as well !

Nice little paths to walk around, very enjoyable time ! One area has a little bench that overlooks the view.

Little elephant slide.

Didn't want to spoil all the flowers there, be sure to go check out this garden ♡...

There was only one gravel road to get there, and it was backed up a bit. Found parking easily. It was extremely dusty, I got dust all over myself and my dogs. If I want to view tulips, I prefer the tulip festival at Yukiyagawa Dam.

However, I would come here again just to purchase tulip bulbs of all varieties for 100-200 yen each. I bought 8, and I hope they come up next spring. The couple at the tulip stand were kind and gave me cut tulips that weren't for sale as a "present"...

Wonderful place with beautiful gardens. The flowers change seasonally and you can also hold bunnies and feed fish. You will find fish food in the shop nearby. Somewhere you could return to and don’t do what I did and throw your TICKET AWAY! There is an expiry date on it so you can go back a few times within that period!
