We will exhibit more than 160 strains of about 40 varieties, including cold peony, which is extremely difficult to bloom with a flowering rate of 20% or less, such as "cold" and "shooting star".

\u25a0 Wrapped in "straw botchi (straw enclosure)" to survive the cold<\/strong>
\n In order to protect from the harsh winter environment, the winter peony in the open garden is wrapped in "straw bocchi".
\n "Straw bocchi" has various shapes and knots depending on the area, but since the opening of the garden, the eyes of the viewer have been delighted with the male knots using rough ropes and the decorative knots that imitate flowers such as plums.

\n From the garden, you can see the stone lanterns lined up along the approach to the former Kanei-ji Temple and Toshogu Shrine, and you can see the peony in a unique Edo atmosphere together with the Japanese garden of the dry garden.
\n Also, if it snows, it has a special taste, and the appearance of the peony standing in the snow that is steadily falling attracts the eyes of the viewer.<\/p>\n
