Ageo Fiori Fiorista

Located about 45 minutes from Tokyo, Ageo is located near the Railway Museum at Omiya and boasts a number of pleasant parks and green open spaces. The nearby Bonsai Art Museum in Omiya is a great place for those wishing to see some beautiful bonsai trees in many different shapes and sizes, and within Ageo itself the Maruyama Park is a favorite place amongst locals. Here, in the springtime, the beautiful plum and cherry blossoms look spectacular, and the park has plenty of lovely places around which to walk. Ageo is located under 40 minutes’ drive from other attractions in the wider Tokyo area, including Meguro. In particular, the Meguro River during the cherry blossom festival is the place to head for a picturesque walk through the falling blossoms – a favorite pastime of locals and visitors alike. The Meguro Sky Garden is also a wonderful place to explore, admire the architecture and welcome some green space and tranquility when in the area. Ageo is also not far from Shinagawa - visitors to this part of Tokyo who wish to escape big city life can head to Shinagawa Kumin Park. Flowers are in bloom throughout the year, but the best plants and colors are seen in the spring, including of course cherry and plum trees. The sakura plaza is a favorite place for locals to sit and picnic in the spring, whilst partaking in the local pastime of watching the blossoms fall. Shinagawa also hosts a Greenery and Flower Festival in Shinagawa-ku, spread out across several different areas.
