6 min readEvent Overview
Located in Nanbu Town, Tottori Prefecture, Tottori Hana Kairou is one of Japan's largest flower parks. The Autumn Festival celebrates the changing seasons with a vibrant explosion of color. Against the majestic backdrop of Mt. Daisen, you can witness a vivid carpet of 100,000 Salvia splendens and a vast field of 1 million cosmos flowers. It is a spectacular sight that captures the essence of autumn.
Highlights & How to Enjoy
The festival's main draw is the grand scale of seasonal blooms. On the Flower Hill, enjoy the striking contrast between the bright red and pink salvia and the grand scenery of Mt. Daisen. In the Secret Garden, the sight of 1 million cosmos flowers swaying in the breeze creates a dreamlike, ethereal atmosphere. Additionally, the park hosts specialized exhibitions, such as autumn rose displays, chrysanthemum topiary shows, and hibiscus exhibitions, showcasing the artistic beauty of nature.

On October 3, 2026, an opening ceremony is scheduled for 10:00 AM to introduce the festival's highlights. Throughout the season, various themed exhibitions will take place.
