In the “Fragrant Herb Garden” where more than 180 kinds of herbs are classified according to their uses, kitchen herbs, tea herbs, potpourri herbs, etc. will be in full bloom from the end of May, and visitors can enjoy “seeing, touching, and smelling” their pretty flowers and various leaf shapes. In early summer, the unique mountain hydrangea, American linden, and white, yellow, and orange lilies bloom one after another, and the garden is brightly colored with colorful flowers. You can also enjoy workshops such as making herb bouquets and herb deodorant sprays using picked herbs, and herb garden tours led by herb advisors.
In addition, the Shiki no Aroma Café will be open only on Saturdays and Sundays in June.
