The 'Nigiwai Marche in Umami Hanashobu' will be held at Umami Kyuryo Park, a sprawling natural space spanning Koryo and Kawai towns where seasonal flowers bloom year-round.

Approximately 30,000 Japanese irises (Hanashobu) across 100 varieties will be in full bloom, including traditional varieties passed down since the Edo period, uniquely named species, and rare floral shapes. Additionally, 4,000 hydrangeas will refreshingly color the shaded areas of the park, serving as another major highlight.

A 'Marche' (community market) is also planned within the park during the event. Come and enjoy the refreshing early summer breeze at Umami Kyuryo Park!
