Rose festival at Kakyu no Sato

Earlier this week I went to Kakyu no Sato in Konosu city to see the roses, which luckily for me were in full bloom. Also, lucky for me that they have a rose festival on, because I visited on a Tuesday which is normally the day of the week the facility closes! Only for the rose festival was on that I was able to enter the facility or its grounds.

There are about 1000 roses in the rose garden, but it feels like there are a lot more. The garden is done very nicely and looks very scenic. Its quite spacious too, so while there was a lot of people there it didn't feel crowded and I was able to take some photos. However, at the key scenic points I did have to wait my turn to take photos. 

During the period of the rose festival, apart from opening daily, they have at least one food truck on site daily. On the day I visited there was also a food stall. Also, on select dates during the two weeks they have live performances. The festival is on until Sunday May 25th 2025. It is one element of the larger Konosu Flower festival. However, the Konosu flower festival ends today May 18th.

Have you been to a rose festival yet this year?
