Located less than 2 kilometers from Shiofune Kannon in Ome, Fukiage Iris Park is a lovely place to take a stroll during June when the irises are blooming. It costs ¥300 to park and ¥200 entry per adult during blooming season. There are a few vendors selling food and tents with tables and chairs set up to picnic under. It is not a large park, but very pretty and worth the visit. Couple it with a visit to Shiofune Kannon for a nice morning. If you’re feeling adventurous to walk a bit more, the Inari Shrine is nearby, as well as ruins of the Katsunuma Castle from the 1500s.
Fukiage Shoubu Park is open 9am-5pm. Iris season June 1 – 30. Off season it is still possible to walk the grounds for free. Google Pin to Fukiage Shobu Park GPS: 35.79713, 139.27665. See map to Iris Park from Shiofune Kannon below. – Sarah Straus, June 2o13
