Located in Shikishima Park in Maebashi City, the Shikishima Park Rose Garden is a stunning display of approximately 7,000 rose bushes representing 600 varieties from around the world. The garden is free to enter and features themed sections, including roses from America, Japan, England, and New Zealand, as well as a fragrance garden and English rose area. The best times to visit are during the spring and autumn rose festivals, though even outside these times, there are flowers to enjoy, including tropical plants in the greenhouse during winter. The garden is well-maintained and offers accessible paths, making it suitable for visitors of all ages and abilities. Parking is free, but can get crowded during festivals, so arriving in the morning is recommended.
