Shinjuku National Garden Chrysanthemum Exhibition

The Shinjuku Gyoen Chrysanthemum Exhibition is an annual autumn flower exhibition celebrating Japan’s traditional chrysanthemum cultivation and its historic connections to the Imperial Family.

The exhibition dates back to 1878 and moved to Shinjuku Gyoen in 1929.

Visitors can explore seven elaborately arranged chrysanthemum displays and two additional flowerbeds throughout the Japanese Traditional Garden. The flowers are cultivated using traditional Japanese techniques and presented beneath specially constructed bamboo, reed, and wooden shelters.

Displays include cascading chrysanthemums, large-flowered varieties, and meticulously trained arrangements that showcase generations of Japanese horticultural craftsmanship.

As of November 10, organizers reported that all nine display areas were at their viewing peak.
