Yokosuka Shobu-en Iris Garden

Admire 140,000 irises in bloom during the month of June

Cherry blossoms, roses, wisteria, and hydrangeas…lookout! There are 140,000 lovely irises of 412 varieties that flourish not too far from Yokosuka Naval Base. During the month of June, Yokosuka Shobu-en Iris Garden transforms into a magical space of vivid purple, white, yellow, and pink delicate blossoms just waiting to be discovered. And just when you think you’ve photographed the entire garden, another path is revealed. A mirror image of beautiful irises awaits visitors just on the other side of the hill. Take a break underneath the bamboo trellis of wisteria vines. Or visit the souvenir shop for soft cream or a light lunch. There’s so much to admire here at Shobu-en!
