Matsuzaki Flower Garden

PARK

Matsuzaki Flower Garden is an area where the locals plant many varieties of flowers. Over the span of a few months the different flowers bloom and attract many visitors snapping up pictures. The garden also features scarecrows (both human and animal) with differing themes.

There is a free car park available.

Review

I recommend coming to visit the area during cherry blossom season (mid-March – early April) as the river across the road is lined with cherry blossom trees and rapeseed flowers, so if you come during this time you get to see two in one! Make sure to check the website or social media platforms to see if/what flowers are blooming before you travel. The flowers bloom at different times so if you want to see a specific variety then you’ll need to time your trip well!

RECOMMENDED ROUTE:

Matsuzaki Flower Garden is easiest to get to by car as public transport on the West side of Izu can be quite sporadic. If you’re travelling by public transport then take the train from Mishima to Shuzenji on the Izu Hakone Tetsudo Line. Switch to the bus bound for Matsuzaki (松崎) and ride until the end of the line. You’ll then need to switch to the bus to Shimoda (下田) and get off at Fusekura Bridge (伏倉橋). Alternatively you can also take the train all the way to Shimoda from Tokyo (switching at Atami Station) and then take the bus bound for Matsuzaki.
