2021.01.12

From April 16th to May 16th, 2021, the resort hotel “Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Yatsugatake” in the Yatsugatake area, which is rich in nature, will hold a festival “Corridor Flower Blooming RISONARE 2021” to celebrate the arrival of spring. The flower-blooming resonance of the corridor is the 17th spring staple event this year. There are 100 large flower motifs with a height of 1.5 to 2 m, which is double the number of last year and colors the corridor.
In addition, you can spend a spring time on Peman Street, which is full of flowers, such as a picnic park where you can spend your time freely on the greens spread over the plaza, and drinks using edible flowers.

The 17th Corridor Flowering Resonale with Big Flowers

The flower-blooming resonance of the corridor is the 17th spring staple event this year. On the main street “Peman Street”, which has a total length of 150m, 100 “Big Flowers” with a height of 1.5 to 2m, which is twice as high as last year, are lined up and sway in the breeze. It is an event where you can feel the balmy spring with the flower seedlings grown in the Yatsugatake area where flowers bloom one after another. From April 29th to May 5th, tulips and gerberas from one of Japan’s leading production areas will be laid out like a carpet, and colorful petals will decorate the corridor.

An event that continues by utilizing beautiful resources delivered from one of Japan's leading production areas

From April 29th to May 5th, tulip petals, which are popular in bulb cultivation in Niigata and Toyama prefectures, are laid out like a carpet. Tulips are a beautiful by-product that is cut and discarded before flowering to grow good bulbs.

In addition, the largest gerbera in Japan arrives from Shizuoka prefecture, and you can enjoy floating the Hanabusa in a water bowl. Gerbera makes use of flowers that could not be shipped due to slight differences in color and size. The flower-blooming resonance of the corridor is an event that has been going on for 17 years with the support of the people in the production area.
