Hirotayama Park, which is part of the grounds of Hirota Shrine, is known for its “azaleas.” They’ve been designated a Natural Monument of Hyogo Prefecture.

Shukugawa is a famous cherry blossom spot, selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots by the Japan Cherry Blossom Association. The hydrangeas in June can be pretty amazing too.
So is it Kakuma Park or Kawarabayashi Park?
If you saw yesterday’s article, you can probably figure it out by process of elimination.
The correct answer is a. Kawarabayashi Park.

Kawarabayashi Park is listed as a famous flower spot for “roses.” Apparently it’s also called Rose Park.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 3-7 Kamikoshien, Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.

The rose tunnel looks like this right now.

Now that’s a picture-perfect rose. There are still buds too, so it looks like they’ll keep blooming for a while

And of course, bright red ones. The shape feels kind of unusual
If you’re a rose fan, the Anne’s Rose Church has apparently started blooming too, so why not visit both?
