The arrival of the Monarch butterfly
The Monarch Butterfly is known for migrating long distances, changing its habitat as it goes. It begins to appear in the park from late September, and disappears southward in mid-October.
In the Clematis Garden, there are Eupatorium japonicum flowers, a favorite flower of the Monarch Butterfly, and at peak times hundreds of them swarm about, heading for these flowers.
They are popular for their beautiful feathers and the way they flap their wings slowly without fear of people, and this is the time when many photographers visit the zoo.
Facilities
Within the garden, there are cafes and restaurants where you can spend time admiring the flowers, as well as fragrance shops and shops selling dried flowers, so you can spend your time relaxing.
There is also an accommodation facility called "Kuju Flower Park Glamping Park Hana to Hoshi" on the premises.
Surrounded by flower fields and starry skies, there are endless ways to enjoy precious time spent with your loved ones.
