Nabana no Sato

なばなの里

Nabana no Sato in Kuwana is one of Japan's largest flower theme parks, in the north of Mie Prefecture. Flowers bloom through the seasons: plum, cherry and tulips in spring, hydrangeas, irises and roses toward summer, and cosmos and dahlias in autumn. In the Begonia Garden greenhouse, visitors can see begonias (separate entry fee). From mid-October to late May, a large illumination lights up the park at night.
