Flower Park is on the southern tip of Satsuma Peninsula in Kagoshima overlooking Cape Nagasakibana and Ryugu Shrine. Flower Park is within easy reach of both Chiran with its graceful samurai district and Kamikaze Peace Museum and Ibusuki with its famous sand baths.

Flower Park claims to be the largest flower theme park in Japan with around 400,000 plants from 2,400 species laid out on a large, spacious site. As well as sub-tropical plants from Kagoshima Prefecture and the rest of Kyushu there are also plants from South America, Africa and Australia.

Flower Park offers two recommended courses one lasting 30 minutes and the other an hour though it is easily possible to spend more time here to admire the fine views of Mt. Kaimon ("Satsuma Fuji") and Kagoshima Bay. If you are in a hurry or feeling lazy electric buggies can be hired to tour the park.
