Kabashima Iris Garden

The Kabashima Iris Garden, located along the river rafting course, boasts approximately 30,000 irises of about 35 varieties in bloom from late May to mid-June.
In this iris garden, each variety blooms at a different time, and the iris garden gradually becomes more vibrant as the flowers change color.
You can see it from along the river rafting course and from the “Waterside Promenade,” which is one of Japan’s 100 Best Roads.
Please enjoy the irises along the moat where traditional boats come and go during this season.
