It looks like the roses at Anne’s Rose Church have started blooming.
(Thanks to Anne’s Rose and Pon-chan for the tip!)
Here it is↓
Wow, they’re starting to bloom〜〜😍
Yesterday (4/28) was warm, and it seems like more and more flowers are blooming one after another🌹
The location is here↓
The address is 4-7 Koyoen Nishiyamacho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
When we visited in 2021↓
The gradation of colors on the petals is so beautiful✨
Apparently, the color gradually changes as the flowers continue to bloom.
About Anne’s Rose Church
These roses are located on the grounds of “Anne’s Rose Church,” about a 10-minute walk from Koyoen Station.
The roses were created by a Belgian horticulturist in memory of Anne Frank, author of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Today, they are propagated through grafting and grown across Japan as “a symbol of the peace Anne wished for.”
“Anne’s Rose Church” is the only church in the world dedicated to Anne, and it reportedly houses precious photographs of Anne donated by her father, Otto Frank, as well as rare surviving personal items of Anne’s.
The museum usually requires reservations, but to coincide with the blooming season, it will be open for four days from Wednesday, May 1 to Saturday, May 4, with free admission and no reservation required😄

Lastly
By the way, you can also get to Anne’s Rose Church by taking the “Koyo Area Community Bus,” which is currently in its trial period🚌 (take the “B Nishiyama Route” and get off at the bus stop “Anne no Bara Kyokai-shita”※Please note that the bus does not operate on some days). Even if you can’t make it during the period above, the rose garden will still be open for free afterward😉 The roses are expected to keep blooming until around late May, so if you love roses, why not stop by?
