Flower and fountain park

Southern Iwate

The ``peony garden'' in the park of flowers and springs boasts 4,000 peony flowers of 320 types, which are said to be the king of flowers, making it one of the largest in Japan in terms of variety and number.

In May, when the flowers are in full bloom, the Peony Peonies Festival is held with 3,000 peonies of 40 different species.

At the ``Botan House'' in the park, you can try your hand at making stone oven pizza, and at the ``Community Plaza'' you can also try making herbariums and terrariums.
