Kurihama Yokosuka Poppy Festival

Kurihama Hana-no-Kuni Flower World is a park which features the theme of flowers to enable people to enjoy contact with nature which is lush and green. In Spring poppys blooms in profusion, and many people come t see the colourful flowers.

Upon its introduction to Japan in the 1800s, the poppy was named “Consort Yu’s Flower” after the legendary and tragic Chinese beauty. The delicate, blood-red petals recall Yu’s fervent, passionate love and violent suicide.

In mid-April warm breezes replace the winter chill and poppies at Kurihama Hana-no-Kuni Flower World burst into bloom, blanketing hillsides in a sea of pink and red. After the festival ends in June, visitors can cut their own poppies to take home.
