Enjoy the night scene at Oshijo Castle with its flowery hand-watering and illumination

At Oshijo Castle, the Hanatemizu are beautifully decorated each season and are a feast for the eyes just by visiting. In addition, once a month, when the castle is illuminated, visitors can enjoy a different atmosphere from that of the daytime, and spend a relaxing time with the flower garden.

Key points for photography

The key to taking pictures is that Hanatemizu is held outside of July and August, but only about half of the month, so it is important to check the dates in advance if you are visiting for Hanatemizu or for the lighting-up. If you are visiting for the flower water ceremony or the illumination, it is important to check the dates in advance. By timing your visit accordingly, you can enjoy a more atmospheric photo shoot.
