✨ About the Festival

Held annually at the Soho Rose Garden in Nanyo City, the Nanyo Rose Festival celebrates the full bloom of approximately 340 rose varieties across an expansive 8,000 m² hillside garden.

  • Enjoy the classic charm of old rose varieties

  • Breathe in the fragrant air as you stroll through vibrant floral pathways

  • Take in scenic views of the surrounding countryside

One of the must-see highlights is the Charleston rose, which changes color from yellow to red as it blooms—best viewed in mid-June.
Many roses are repeat bloomers, so you can enjoy them from June through October.
