Prestigious resident Hirohide Ishida gifted his beloved rose garden to Odate City on July 1, 1995. Now every June, the Odate Rose Festival is held during the first blooming season of the year.
The garden covers an area of 2,300 m2 and contains roughly 500 different varieties of flowers. They don’t bloom long, so make sure to see them when you can!
The garden remains open throughout the year for walkers, etc.
