From cherry blossoms in spring to sunflowers and autumn’s first blooms, discover Japan’s seasonal flowers during your visit to GREEN×EXPO 2027.

Japan’s landscapes change dramatically with the seasons, and flowers are one of the most beautiful ways to experience the country’s natural and cultural heritage. From the fleeting pink clouds of cherry blossoms to the colorful fields of summer sunflowers, each season brings its own traditions, landscapes, and opportunities to explore.

Everyone’s always raving about Japan’s cherry blossom season, but here’s a little secret: fall might just be the country’s best-kept secret. Instead of pink petals, picture landscapes bursting with deep reds, oranges, and golds—colors that turn gardens and temple grounds into nature’s own art galleries. 

So, if you’re thinking of swapping out spring for fall, these gardens in Japan should be on your radar.
