Showa Kinen Park, Rich in Blooming Flowers

This national park opened in 1983 to commemorate the 50th year of Emperor Showa’s reign. Spanning the equivalent of about 40 Tokyo Domes, it’s a vast and beautiful park.
Depending on the season, you can enjoy tulips, sunflowers, cosmos, and many other flowers!
It’s also a popular date spot, so you may have heard of it or even visited before.
Going on a date after your photo shoot here sounds like a lovely idea, right? ♡
