Tulips in Toyama, Japan
Japan’s tulip season happens from late April to early May. The town of Tonami Toyama Prefecture is a leading producer of tulip bulbs in the country.
For visitors, Tonami Tulip Park is one of the most famous places in Japan to see the these stunning flowrs – we’re talking about three million bulbs of 300 varieties. Look out for the Valley of Flowers, a 30m corridor of 4m high tulips. The 2023 Tonami Tulip fair takes place here from 22 April to 5 May. During this period, free shuttle buses will connect the Tonami Tulip Park with JR Tonami Station. This place is around eight hours from Tokyo.
