【Gifu World Rose Garden】A Paradise of Roses and Seasonal Blossoms in Gifu

A Must-Visit Sanctuary of Roses

The signature attraction of Gifu World Rose Garden is its world-class rose garden, among the largest in Japan.

With over 6,000 varieties and 20,000 rose bushes, the garden bursts into color during the spring and autumn Rose Festivals. As you stroll through the paths, a wave of fragrance and vivid hues surrounds you, creating an enchanting, dreamlike atmosphere. From beloved classic roses to the latest cultivars, visitors can explore the depth and diversity of rose beauty here.

One highlight is the themed garden layout, featuring areas designed around color and fragrance. Romantic arches, vibrant flowerbeds, and open terraces offer ever-changing scenery with each step. Many of the roses displayed are internationally acclaimed, cementing the park’s reputation as a global hub of rose culture.

The ambiance changes with each season and time of day — from delicate morning dew on the petals to the magical glow of sunset. Truly, this is a “sanctuary of roses” everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.

Colorful Stage of Flowers in Every Season

The beauty of the Gifu World Rose Garden extends far beyond its roses.

Throughout the year, countless flowers bloom across the park, ensuring that each visit offers a fresh and colorful experience.

In spring, nemophila and tulips paint the gardens in shades of blue, red, and yellow, while hydrangeas bring vibrant charm to the early summer landscape, even on rainy days.

During summer, sunflowers bloom energetically under the bright sun, creating breathtaking vistas. In autumn, carpets of chrysanthemums (mums) color the fields in rich tones, signaling the change of season. Winter features the largest regional display of pansies and violas, as well as other winter-blooming flowers, making the park worth visiting year-round.

This seamless relay of seasonal blooms ensures that no two visits are ever the same. The harmony between Gifu’s natural scenery and its colorful flowers offers gentle inspiration to every visitor.

Play, Capture, and Enjoy All Day Long

Gifu World Rose Garden is also a destination for fun and interactive experiences.

Children can enjoy safe play areas with large playground equipment, while families gather on the spacious lawns for picnics under the open sky.

In summer, the splash zone becomes a popular spot for kids to cool off, adding excitement to family outings.

Another unique feature is the park’s popularity as a cosplay and photo-shoot location. The combination of roses, European-style architecture, and scenic backdrops makes it a favorite among cosplayers and photographers. With advance application, professional photo sessions are also allowed for a small fee — creating one-of-a-kind portraits that blend people and flowers beautifully.

As a result, the garden is not only a place to admire flowers but also a multi-generational destination for play, creativity, and discovery.

A Moment of Healing Surrounded by Flowers

After exploring the garden, visitors can unwind at the shops and cafés located within the park.

The main shop offers exclusive rose-themed goods, sweets, and locally produced specialties — perfect as souvenirs or keepsakes of your visit.

The cafés serve rose-scented desserts and beverages, along with light meals and lunch options featuring local ingredients. Guests can relax while admiring the seasonal flowers from the terrace, enjoying a peaceful break immersed in nature.

During event seasons, limited-time menus and collaboration items are also available, giving repeat visitors something new to look forward to each time.

With its blend of natural beauty, gourmet experiences, and memorable mementos, Gifu World Rose Garden stands as a true “flower theme park” — a place where hearts bloom along with the roses.
