The 10,000 roses at Keisei Rose Garden in Chiba are expected to bloom this spring. You’ll come across 1,600 types of red, white, pink, orange, yellow and purple roses all over the park, making you feel like you’ve stepped inside a fairytale. Highlights at the event include a three-person merry-go-round (¥700 per ride) in the massive greenhouse, which spins around a tree trunk adorned with green leaves, colourful flowers and ornaments. The attraction will feature bubbles and emit rose fragrance to amplify the mood and experience
On the other side of the greenhouse you’ll find a six metre-wide installation made in collaboration with Nihon Akari Expo and art collective Mirrorbowler. This 2.4 metre-tall egg-shaped sculpture features a rose-inspired object in the centre, surrounded by a dome made from iridescent flower-shaped panels.
On weekends and holidays, you can join in a garden tea party with Japanese voice and stage actors from Himawari Theatre Group and Ken Production. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon with cakes and your choice of rose tea or coffee while mingling with the abovementioned personalities for ¥2,500. Reservations must be made in advance via the website.
