Kurihama Hananokuni will hold the “Cosmos Festival” from September 10 (Sat) to October 30 (Sun), 2022, in conjunction with the cosmos blooming season. At this site, a total of eight varieties of cosmos, from early to late bloomers, are managed so that they bloom one after another, allowing visitors to appreciate them over a long period of time.

The highlight of the "Cosmos Garden" in KURUHAMA HANA NO KUNI is the blooming relay of eight varieties!

Sensation,” “Picotee,” and “Hinomaru-MIX,” which are the most popular pink and white mixed cosmos with the most cosmos-like colors, are expected to be at their best from early October. Since they are planted in the largest area in the center of the cosmos garden, they will be the most popular attraction.

After that, “Yellow Campus,” a clear and bright yellow color, is expected to be at its best at the top of the cosmos garden from mid-October.

The cosmos garden at Yokosuka City Kurihama Hananokuni is characterized by its gentle slopes, where approximately 1 million cosmos flowers spread all over the landscape. Planting staff members carefully manage the cosmos garden, including pruning, to ensure that eight varieties of cosmos bloom one after another, so that visitors can enjoy the cosmos flowers from early September to late October.
