IBARAKI FLOWER PARK — Attraction in Ishioka

Don't buy the ticket online!! Wait for the 20% discount Coupon given to you by BUS Driver when you get off. If you've been to Keisei Baraen and was impressed, well this IBARAKI FLOWER PARK is dozens times better!! They have way more roses on a way bigger surface and cool Aoyama style cafes restaurants shopping in the 3 buildings on site and a rose farm simulation greenhouse and wood fire for your self grilled meat or marshmallows. But back to the roses, they almost omit all English ones that are so easy to get sick and instead have mostly French and Japanese Roses 🌹 that fare better in this climate. I was so impressed, beyond imagination and would go again there in a heartbeat. The shockingly STYLISH Ibaraki Flower Park has such cool interiors and layout, forests, Momiji, crafts workshops every day 🍁 and for spring there's Sakura cherry blossom forest and Hydrangea with Irises! I am speechless and wait there's MORE right now, Winter Illumination!! So lovely even on the central roses there are lights! Best experience, there are not many busses to get here, we came with first one from Ishioka Station departing at 9:45 arrived at 10:15 at the park and took last bus down at 17:35! When coming by bus you get 20% discount coupon in hand from bus driver! Don't buy the...

The park itself is excellent if you like flowers. There are always some to see and the layout is pretty good for couples to walk around. There's a big but gentle, sloping hill for kids to play on and a little elevated bicycle track that overlooks the park. There are activity centers and places for exhibitions and flea market-style vendor tents.

The only downsides are that it can be expensive to visit, there are no good places to eat, and the local idiots constantly burn grass, plastic, etc. to keep the air tinged with smoke. If you are asthmatic, you should probably wear a gas mask or avoid this entire area. I recently went (in October) and the entire time there was smoke wafting in from the farmers who were burning entire fields, piles of wet grass, etc. It was acrid and nasty smoke and, as someone with allergies, it really affected my enjoyment of the park.

Japan wants to be clean but the air in most country areas is more like Beijing with all the agricultural burning. If you can go on a clean air day, this park is magical. Just check the air quality before you...

Review: Ibaraki Flower Park in Early June 🌹✨

Visited Ibaraki Flower Park in early June when the roses were in full bloom—and it was absolutely stunning! The garden was bursting with vibrant colors and the air was filled with the sweet scent of roses. Each variety had its own charm, and it was a joy to walk through the beautifully maintained rose paths.

After enjoying the flowers, we stopped by the on-site café, and saw the food was —beautifully presented and looked incredibly delicious. They had the Taiwan 🇹🇼 theme that day. I had the meal in the cafe before and it was very delicious.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful flower-filled day with great food in a lovely...
