Shimabara Hibaruyama Flower Park “Autumn Cherry Blossom Festival”
The “Cosmos Festival” has been held since October 10, 2024 (Thursday), but due to the damage caused by Typhoon No. 10 in August right after the seeds were planted, and the intense heat and lack of rain in September, this year’s festival did not reach full bloom due to poor growth, and it came to an end on November 4, 2024.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all visitors. We hope to be able to welcome you next year under better conditions.
The combination of cosmos and sunflowers is a magnificent sight.
Shimabara Hibaruyama Flower Park (formerly Shimabara Shiba-zakura Park), from where you can get a panoramic view of Heisei Shinzan, the highest peak of Mt. Unzen, stands as a symbol of recovery from the Unzen-Fugendake eruption disaster. This park was developed collaboratively by the public and private sectors on designated erosion control land in Kami-Oribashi Town, Shimabara City, out of gratitude for the support from people all over the country and with the hope of leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
Every year from early October to mid-November, the cosmos flowers reach their peak, and the ‘Cosmos Festival’ is held.
Walking through the park, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery created by the colorful flower fields. The combination of Heisei Shinzan, 10 million cosmos flowers, and 60,000 sunflowers offers an awe-inspiring view.
