Jindai Botanical Garden autumn rose festival 2025

Jindai Botanical Garden is a very popular spot with locals and tourists alike. The garden is worth a visit at any time of the year, but right now you can see and smell roses in the garden. It is known as  one of Tokyo's leading "rose gardens", with about 5200 roses of 400 different varieties. Jindai Botanical Garden is located in Chofu city. 

You can normally see autumn roses here from mid October to around the end of November. Accordingly, their autumn rose festival is on from October 7th to November 24th 2025. There are many free events for the occasion, such as a guided rose tour and a rose concert on the lawn. On select dates the park opens early so you can enjoy the fresh scent of roses when they are at their strongest. In addition, the park has three different free Apps that allow you experience your time at the park in different ways. For example, the "Baranona" App will identify the variety of the rose when you point your phone camera at the rose.

The rose garden is located on the south west corner of the botanical gardens. It is about a 30 minute walk from Chofu station which is on the Keio line (from Shinjuku). Buses also go to Jindai from the station.
