[Kitakyushu City] Shiranoe Botanical Garden
Shiranoe Botanical Garden is the only flower garden in Kitakyushu City, located on a small hill on the east side of Moji Ward. You can enjoy plants and flower scenery of all seasons.
Spring is the most spectacular season. Around 700 cherry trees of about 60 varieties bloom one after another until late April, including the early-blooming "Wanzakura" and "Kawazuzakura" cherry blossoms that bloom in February. From the end of March to early April, the mountains are painted pink with cherry blossoms.
Don't miss the 450-year-old "Shiranoe Satozakura," a natural monument designated by Fukuoka Prefecture. Also known as the "Mother and Child Cherry Blossoms," it blooms with beautiful pale pink flowers every year around mid-April.
The Sakura Festival will be held from March 30th (Sat) to April 14th (Sun), 2024. There will be a Sakura Meguri Slump Rally and sales of plants and flower seedlings. Lunch boxes will also be sold on Saturdays and Sundays during the festival.
In addition to cherry blossoms, peonies, rhododendrons, tulips, and other flowers bloom in full glory, and the fresh green leaves of the approximately 800 maple trees are also a highlight.
