It is a large-scale iris garden with approximately 200 species and 6,000 plants, and was the subject of nishiki-e woodblock prints by Edo ukiyoe artist Hiroshige Utagawa and others. Mizumoto Park is the largest park in the 23 wards of Tokyo and the only park in the city with an aquatic landscape. Here, too, 14,000 irises of about 100 varieties are planted.<\/p>\n<p>The Katsushika Iris Festival has been held annually at these two venues. This year, the areas surrounding both venues will be very lively again. On Saturdays and Sundays during the festival (Sundays only at Horikiri-Shobuen), local volunteer groups will hold various events such as stage events, parades, and lighting up of lights. Also, on Saturdays and Sundays during the festival, the Shobu Meguri Bus will be running between the two venues and Shibamata Teishakuten, Kanamachi Station, and Kameari Station, so be sure to take advantage of this service. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"57\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/assets\/images\/obj-illust_27.png\" title=\"\" width=\"199\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"js-way\"><span class=\"ja\"><span>Event Summary<\/span><\/span><span class=\"en\">Outline<\/span><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Location<\/th>\n<td>\nHorikiri-Shobuen 2-19-1 Horikiri, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo<br \/>\nMizumoto Park 3-2, Mizumoto Koen, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Access<\/th>\n<td>\nHorikiri-Shobuen 10 min. walk from Horikiri-Shobuen Station on the Keisei Electric Railway line.<br \/>\nMizumoto Park 5 min. from &#8220;Mizumoto Koen&#8221; bus stop on the Keisei Bus (Kan 61) or North Exit Keisei Bus (Kan 62) from the South Exit of JR Kanamachi Station, 1 min. from &#8220;Hanashobuen&#8221; bus stop on the Keisei Bus (Kan 63) (available only on weekends and holidays) from the South Exit of JR Kanamachi Station<\/p>\n<div class=\"elem-sec_01 mrg-style_21\">\n<iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" height=\"350\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.co.jp\/maps?output=embed&#038;q=35.742677,139.826084&#038;z=15\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Holding period<\/th>\n<td>\nMonday, May 29 &#8211; Sunday, June 18, 2023<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Opening Hours<\/th>\n<td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t8:00\uff5e18:00\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Contact Us<\/th>\n<td>\nHorikirishobuen 03-3697-5237<br \/>\nMizumoto Park 03-3607-8321<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">entrance fee<\/th>\n<td>\nfree<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">closed day<\/th>\n<td>\nOpen throughout the exhibition period<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Related Links<\/th>\n<td>\n<a class=\"link-style_03\" href=\"https:\/\/www.city.katsushika.lg.jp\/institution\/1000096\/1006888.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Site<\/a><br \/><a class=\"link-style_03\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tokyo-park.or.jp\/park\/format\/about041.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Site<\/a> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Holding period 2023.05.29 \u301c 2023.06.18 Approximately 20,000 brightly colored irises are in full bloom.
