Guide
Hana no Miyako Park is a massive botanical garden covering 300,000 square meters on the scenic shores of Lake Yamanaka. It is a premier destination to experience the natural beauty at the foot of Mount Fuji, with a diverse array of flowers blooming throughout the seasons. The park features an all-weather greenhouse facility and various areas designed to showcase the natural topography of the region.
The facility is managed as a botanical garden that leverages the rich, pristine natural environment found at the base of Mount Fuji. The park's theme focuses on the profound relationship between humans, plants, and the natural world, creating an educational and harmonious space for visitors to connect with nature.
A central highlight is the "Floral Dome Furara," an all-weather greenhouse where you can observe various plant species and gather botanical information regardless of the weather. Outside, the vast grounds are meticulously arranged with seasonal flowers, offering a vibrant tapestry of colors. The park also includes specialized areas that highlight the local natural terrain and water elements.
The landscape changes beautifully with the seasons. From the vibrant colors of spring and summer to the more serene tones of autumn and winter, there is always a unique botanical spectacle to witness. For the best experience, we recommend visiting during daylight hours when the natural sunlight best enhances the vivid colors and textures of the flowers.
Visitors can enjoy a relaxing stroll through the outdoor areas, utilizing the natural landscape for a peaceful walk. The greenhouse provides a unique opportunity to learn about plant biology in a controlled environment. With dedicated areas suitable for families, the park offers an engaging way for both children and adults to interact with the natural environment.
The park is located in the beautiful Lake Yamanaka area, which is surrounded by numerous other sightseeing spots. You can easily combine a visit to the park with other activities around the lake to create a comprehensive itinerary for your Yamanashi excursion.
As the park features extensive outdoor walking paths, we highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes. It is also wise to bring clothing suitable for changing weather conditions. To preserve the delicate natural environment, please follow all posted rules and guidelines within the facility. Please check local signage for specific etiquette regarding plant protection and environmental care.
