30,000 peony flowers floating in the pond "Ikeizumi Botan"

It is a big event that can be realized because it is the best peony production area in Japan.

April 29 (Saturday/holiday) – May 5 (Friday/holiday)

Peonies spreading all over with fragrance

Yushien Pond Peony

Daikonjima is Japan’s number one producer of peony seedlings. Currently, about 1.2 million grafted peony seedlings are produced annually.
About 80% of all peony seedlings are non-flowering first-year plants for overseas export. In addition, since the stocks for domestic sale are aimed at fattening the stocks, the buds are picked before flowering. In other words, farmers on Daikonjima grow seedlings, not peony flowers.
However, this does not mean that peony flowers do not bloom at all. Yushien’s agricultural production corporation cooperates with surrounding farmers and owns a large number of mother trees. The mother tree is a large stock used for grafting. It is made to bloom once every few years for purposes such as crossbreeding. The number of flowers blooming easily exceeds tens of thousands of flowers every year.
This year, too, 30,000 peonies will float on the pond in Yushien. The peony flower is known as the king of flowers. This is an event unique to Japan’s No. 1 flower production area that makes abundant use of by-product flowers.

*Please be aware that there are places where your feet are slippery.
*The volume, duration, and content of this event may change depending on the flowering status of the peonies.
*If it rains, you may not be able to see the flowers in perfect condition.
*This event is cooperating with Daikon Island peony farmers.
