Awaji Flower Festival

Sea, sky, and fields of flowers as far as the eye can see. Two seasons bring two different spectacular views into bloom.

Last update :

A flower festival that vividly colors Awaji Island in spring and fall, using the entire island as its stage. Famous spots and tourist facilities across the island, including Awaji Island National Akashi Kaikyo Park, Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Hanasajiki, and Awaji Greenhouse, serve as venues where visitors can enjoy seasonal flower scenery and a wide variety of events all at once.

In spring, vibrant tulips, canola flowers, nemophila, poppies, and more come into full bloom, coloring the island one after another in a relay of flowers. Along with the overwhelming scenery of flowers blooming in the large greenhouse, the island’s wide-open flower fields spreading out against the backdrop of the sea and sky are also well worth seeing. Depending on the facility, there are also plenty of hands-on events such as flower guide tours and craft experiences, offering more than just flower viewing, but a chance to fully enjoy spring with all five senses.

In autumn, cosmos and dahlias gently blanket the island, and colorful, peaceful scenery spreads everywhere. There is also plenty to enjoy, including a stamp rally around famous flower spots, photo contests, flower-picking experiences, and other activities that make exploring the island even more fun. Spending time touring the island while feeling the refreshing breeze is sure to make your travel memories even more vivid.

The collaboration of flower scenery that shows different expressions in two seasons and the island’s relaxed pace creates a special experience. As you take in both the lively colors of spring and the delicate, gentle hues of autumn, also discover the charms of Awaji Island’s rich nature, culture, and food.
