The garden is a collaborative agricultural tourism project between local farmers and the Tahara tourism association.
Irago Nanohana Garden is a seasonal flower attraction located on the Atsumi Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture, known for its extensive fields of rapeseed flowers. The site transforms into a bright yellow landscape during the winter and early spring months. It serves as the primary venue for the Atsumi Peninsula Nanohana Festival, which typically runs from mid-winter through March. The garden features walking paths that allow visitors to navigate directly through the dense blooms. It provides a panoramic view of the surrounding agricultural landscape and is situated near the tip of the Irago Misaki cape. The field is managed annually as a floral destination rather than a year-round botanical garden.
