During December, one can see the park beautifully lit up with the “Flower Park Illumination.” This popular event held at the time of the Winter Festival is based on the theme of “outer space” and hosts around 300,000 glimmering LED lights. We recommend heading inside the fantastical 60 m long tunnel of light.
Utilizing the warm climate of Kagoshima, subtropical plants from all over the world like South Africa and Australia are planted throughout the park. This makes for a lot of rare flowers one often won’t see in Japan. Inside the park are various gardens like the flower field designed with Mt. Kaimon in the background, viewing gallery that offers sweeping scenes of the Kinko Bay, as well as European-themed indoor gardens and Western-style parks.
In the greenhouse conservatory, one can see the giant amorphophallus titanium flower which blooms for only 2 days at a time, only once every 7 years. The progress of the flower is documented regularly on the park’s official blog, so you can check to see its condition for your visit. In addition to this giant wonder, there are many other tropical plants to be seen as well.
