Partners Information: Seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms, houkimomo (a native variety of peach blossoms) and irises bloom in Miyajidake Shrine, located in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka. A cherry blossom tree next to the main shrine is considered a good-luck charm as it is always the first tree in the shrine to bloom each spring, sometimes as early as January - so its blossoms may even be covered in snow!

Partners Information: Located on the northern tip of Nokonoshima Island in Hakata Bay, Fukuoka City, this natural park has over 30 types of seasonal flowers. The popular seasonal blossoms include rapeseed blossoms, cherry blossoms and poppies against the background of the sea in spring.
