[Enjoy the deep scents and colors in autumn! ]

The rose garden can be enjoyed twice a year, in spring and fall, and there are varieties that bloom in different ways and colors depending on the season...!
The spring roses that bloom all at once and decorate the arches are attractive, but the scent and colors are even more intense in the fall!
(I visit them every year, and I was surprised that I could enjoy the scent even when I was wearing a mask.)

Also, in autumn, the start of flowering varies depending on the variety, so you can enjoy it for a long time.

[Perform frequent care]

One of the attractions is that about 6 staff members are always carefully caring for the roses, and you can enjoy beautiful roses no matter when you visit!

The roses are pruned low in the winter so that you can easily see their faces and enjoy their fragrance more fully, and the branches that tend to grow upwards are spread out and stopped with special supports, making the roses bloom more beautifully. I guess you can enjoy it...!

[What varieties do you recommend? ]

​Azur, located in the Potager area, can be enjoyed with its distinctive flower shape and strong scent.
The `` Barista'' blooming around the white fountain in the French Rose Corner has a wonderful contrast of bright flower colors ♪

My favorite is Edouard Manet in the French Rose area.
This rose has an unusual color and is named after a French painter.
I hope it will bloom a lot in autumn as well.

[Antique bricks are also beautiful! ]

Also, the bricks in the garden, which have very soft arches and beautiful colors, are all historic antique bricks...!
You can enjoy the Western air◎

The brick-shaped whale gently envelops the color of the roses, making it look like it's swimming in a sea of roses.
There's also a sun window that looks out to the fountain in the center and a sheep figurine that looks like it's walking in the garden, so be sure to look for it!

*You can walk where the chips are laid, so please take a stroll along the rose path and enjoy the scent.◎

*Rose branches have many thorns. Please be careful if you are bringing small children.

RedHilForestofHisa has many trees and flowers that can be enjoyed throughout the year, but autumn is also full of attractions!

I will introduce my recommended points that you can enjoy with roses♪

[You might be able to meet the traveling butterfly, Asagi Madara...! ? ]

Around late October, the butterfly Asagi Madara migrates to the Fujibakama blooming at Kokoro-an, which is right next to the Rose Garden.
Last year, other rare species of butterflies arrived and were flying around happily.
Also, it seems that the yellow pine tree that blooms in the depths of the forest also attracts swarms of butterflies.

* Flight conditions change depending on temperature and wind speed, so if you're lucky, you might be able to see them♪

Last year, we were able to see a fluffy flying cobia in the Redwood Forest, so if your timing is right while walking in the forest, you might be able to meet one!

[Shining Metasequoia]

Next to the rose garden, there is also a metasequoia that turns beautiful in color around November.
I will never forget the excitement I felt when I saw Metasequoia shining golden in the sunlight from outside the fence where entry was prohibited...!

If the coloring speed is fast, you might be able to enjoy it from inside the rose garden, so be sure to check it out♪

[The autumn leaves in the forest are also beautiful! ]

You can enjoy the autumn leaves that gradually change color from November every year all over the park.
You can see brightly colored autumn leaves at Kokoro-an and Momiji Valley, and at Mizumatsu no Namiki you can see rare autumn leaves where the tops of the leaves turn green and the bottoms turn brown◎

There is also a cute bear ornament on the road leading from the row of Mizumatsu trees to Momiji Valley...!
The location changes occasionally, so please look for it!

[A door that can take you anywhere appears! ]

It is currently said to be the world's tallest tree. Semper sequoia (redwood) There are many《Redwood Forest》for, A pink door that can go anywhere is appearing!
When you open the door, a world of powerful and magnificent redwood trees opens up◎

It also has a metal fitting that allows you to open and lock the door, making it easy to take photos.

*The door that seems to go anywhere may be moved in the future.
Now is your chance to take a photo with the world's tallest tree!

[Check out the Halloween decorations that can be enjoyed until the end of October! ]

​Halloween decorations are placed in various places in the park, and there are face panels and photo spots unique to Halloween.

​You can also enter the park in costume until the end of October.
Children who wear costumes will receive a small gift of sweets!

(Last year, my child visited us in costume and ate the sweets we received in the redwood forest♪)

*Please refrain from bringing in clothing that may cause fear to other guests, such as blood, zombies, ghosts, revealing clothing, imitation swords, guns, etc.

[Autumn is a great day for picnics♪ You can also eat and drink in the park]

Inside the park, you can eat bento boxes brought to you at Ikoi Plaza, Conifer Plaza, Redwood Forest, and Sakura Plaza.

How about having a relaxing lunch while being soothed by the sunlight filtering through the trees, the gentle breeze, and the occasional voice of wild birds?

Please see the official website for a map of the park.

[Flower sales]

Flowers will be sold near the stairs at the entrance RedHilForestofHisa to coincide with the opening of the Rose Garden.

They mainly sell flowers that can be enjoyed in autumn, and when I bought a garden mum that had a lot of buds on it, it started blooming one after another two days after I bought it! It's blooming very beautifully♪

In addition, when I visited, they also sold Fujibakama, which calls Asagi Madara, and after learning how to take care of them, I bought two of them...! I’m looking forward to blooming ◎
