The annual “Original Iris and Hydrangea Exhibition”
Here, 500,000 irises of 600 varieties will be exhibited in an outdoor field of about 1 hectare, and about 300 varieties of hydrangea will be exhibited in the indoor display greenhouse.
Early blooming is a wonderful feature of Kamosou’s original irises, but the first flower of this year, which was a little late in the cold winter and warm spring, was on April 8th, which was about 10 days later than last year.
If flowering progresses in this condition, early blooming irises can be expected to be in full bloom during this year’s Golden Week.
And from the middle of May, the irises planted in the ground will bloom one after another.
The hydrangea hills are exhibited in the center of the greenhouse, centering on Kamosou’s original hydrangea, and you can select and purchase your favorite hydrangea directly from the hills.
Teahouse Sougentei has just opened this year at the site of Miso warehouse surrounded by ponds on three sides.
You can enjoy Kamosou’s original sencha set, which is a blend of specialty teas from the Harada area, mugwort dumplings, and ice cream rice ball lunch boxes.
On the second floor of the main building of the Shoya mansion, the Kamo Fumiko exhibition is being held at Gallery Aya.
Please see the acrylic painting of the irises of Fumiko Kamo who supported Kamosou in the Showa era.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
