Bringing flowers and greenery into everyday life
～Embrace nature and flowers in everyday life～
From March to May 2022, the 38th National Urban Greening Fair Kumamoto Fair was held across three main venues in the city: the Downtown Area, Waterfront Area, and Mountain Area, all symbolizing the greenery, water, history, and culture of Kumamoto. The event featured a wide variety of exhibits and hands-on activities centered around flowers and greenery, drawing in many visitors.
Building on this legacy, the "Kumamoto Flower Expo" is set to be held again this year, continuing from the success of last year.
※The National Urban Greening Fair, one of Japan’s largest flower and greenery festivals, was initiated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism in 1983 and has been hosted in different cities across Japan each year since then.
