Chigasaki Fiori Fiorista

Situated on the coast, Chigasaki is a surfer’s paradise. Its coastal vibe is the main attraction here, and there are lots of restaurants in which to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Chigasaki is less than one hour from Yokosuka and its many attractions. Here, for the flower lover in particular, visitors will find plenty of things to do. Kurihama Flower Park is a great place to stop if you want to check out some of the beautiful flowers in Yokosuka. If you are lucky enough to be in Japan during spring you will be rewarded with a stunning display of poppies, and might be lucky enough to catch the poppy festival, whereas visitors in autumn can take in the cosmos. A flower train also transports guests around the park![ii] Verny Park is another excellent place to see the flowers in Yokosuka – there is even a local phrase dedicated to the very act of looking at flowers - O-hanami! Traditional cherry blossoms make a stunning display here in spring, but Verny Park is best known for its beautiful rose gardens. If you want to join Rose Fest in Yokosuka you’ll need to visit in spring or autumn to see over one hundred different varieties of roses!
