Sukagawa Peony Garden, located in Sukagawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, holds the unique distinction of being Japan's only peony garden designated as a Place of Scenic Beauty. This expansive 10-hectare garden (approximately three times the size of Tokyo Dome) showcases roughly 7,000 peony plants of 290 varieties, creating a truly spectacular sight.
The garden's history dates back to 1766 when Ito Yoritoshi, a pharmacist, brought seedlings from Settsu Province (present-day Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture) to cultivate peony roots for medicinal purposes. In the early Meiji period, the Yanaginuuma family took over, expanding the variety and number of plants to their current state. Designated a Place of Scenic Beauty in 1932, it remains a popular destination for many tourists.
During the spring blooming season, the garden is ablaze with colorful peonies, a truly breathtaking spectacle. Peonies, prized not only for their beauty but also their elegant form, have been loved by people for ages. Sukagawa Peony Garden offers a diverse collection of peony varieties, sure to captivate your heart.
Beyond peonies, the garden offers seasonal flowers throughout the year, providing beautiful scenery in every season. Cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in summer, and autumn foliage in fall—each season brings its own captivating floral display.
Well-maintained walking paths allow for leisurely strolls through nature. The Peony Hall exhibits the history and information of Sukagawa Peony Garden, offering a deeper understanding of the peony's allure.
Sukagawa Peony Garden is a peaceful haven where nature and culture harmonize. We highly recommend a visit.
