Hello, fellow travel lovers!
This time, I visited Fukaya Green Kingdom in Fukaya City, Saitama.
“What’s in bloom here?” Honestly, that’s what I went to find out…
Result: I wasn’t really sure—but I still had a great time.
🌿 What makes this spot special (a relaxed experience)
As soon as you enter, it’s all about greenery. And then, flowers here and there.
Not a dramatic “wow” view—more of a slow, soothing kind of place.
First, I followed the signs toward the Flora Garden area.

Irises, a pond, and blue sky—this part felt like a little reward.
Arrived at Kingdom Plaza. It’s wide and very open.
・Found a kids’ house (a paradise for children)
・Rest areas available (a paradise for adults)
・A forest public hall? (mysteriously comforting)
A guardian of the hall? A neatly trimmed bear topiary. Why here?
A birdhouse exhibition—like custom-built homes for birds.
Walk a bit further and you reach the sunken garden. Suddenly it feels a bit European.
The rose garden—probably at its best next month. For now, it’s all about enjoying the greenery.
At the water area, there were “medaka-like” fish swimming much faster than actual medaka.
A series of little “What’s this?” moments made it a fun and never-boring walk.
🌸 So, what was in season?
I visited in late April, and honestly…
There wasn’t a clear “main attraction” flower.
But on the flip side:
✔ Various flowers blooming little by little
✔ Not crowded, very peaceful
✔ Easy to walk around freely
Result: super आराम and easygoing
🌿 Surprisingly impressive: volunteer-run
What surprised me was that this place is mainly operated and maintained by local citizen volunteers.
That’s why you get:
✔ Handcrafted-style flower beds
✔ A warm, welcoming atmosphere
✔ A calm, comforting vibe
That slightly “imperfect” feeling is actually what makes it relaxing.
🌿 A little treat
At the spacious shop inside the park, I couldn’t resist buying:
“Fubuki no Matsu” (sounds strong, looks adorable)
A red hydrangea (rare and an instant decision)
Total impulse purchase—travel mood at its finest.
✨ Quick tips
Perfect for a slow, relaxing walk
Great for families with kids
Fun little surprises pop up everywhere
If you like plants, be careful at the shop⚠️
😂 Final thoughts
Saying “I’m not sure what was in season” might sound underwhelming…But honestly, that’s the charm.
Just walking around and somehow having a good time—that might be the best kind of trip.
The journey continues... Wishing you all a wonderful trip!
