Ibaraki Flower Park - Ishioka

Don't buy the ticket online!! Wait for the 20% discount Coupon given to you by BUS Driver when you get off. If you've been to Keisei Baraen and was impressed, well this IBARAKI FLOWER PARK is dozens times better!! They have way more roses on a way bigger surface and cool Aoyama style cafes restaurants shopping in the 3 buildings on site and a rose farm simulation greenhouse and wood fire for your self grilled meat or marshmallows. But back to the roses, they almost omit all English ones that are so easy to get sick and instead have mostly French and Japanese Roses that fare better in this climate. I was so impressed, beyond imagination and would go again there in a heartbeat. The shockingly STYLISH Ibaraki Flower Park has such cool interiors and layout, forests, Momiji, crafts workshops every day and for spring there's Sakura cherry blossom forest and Hydrangea with Irises! I am speechless and wait there's MORE right now, Winter Illumination!! So lovely even on the central roses there are lights! Best experience, there are not many busses to get here, we came with first one from Ishioka Station departing at 9:45 arrived at 10:15 at the park and took last bus down at 17:35! When coming by bus you get 20% discount coupon in hand from bus driver! Don't buy the ticket online!

We arrived early for the illumination so we had heaps of time to go around the park. We had so much fun in the forest especially the swing. The illumination was okay. There were not so many lights but we were still able to enjoy our time.

A good place to visit with family, and spend the day. The main attraction is, as the name suggests, flower, more specifically, roses. They have got usual roses, like white, pink, and red, but there are so many mixes of colors that I can't actually name those. I have found some dahliahs, and other flowers too. You can climb to the top to enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding mount tsukuba, or you can relax in the sheds. There are a few rides too, and a open car tour.

If you want to breath with forest air and smell scent of roses this place is just recommended Beautiful park to take rest from city’s noises and routine

Very nice place for weekends. The annual plan I think is a good option and I recommend it.
