Tulip at Showa Kinen Park, modelled on Keukenhof

[Introduction]

I visited Showa Kinen Park, Tokyo, to see tulips there. It is said that tulips at Showa Kine Park are modelled on those at Keukenhof  in the Netherlands, which is renowned all over the world. So that’s why I visited there. Actually, I felt as if I were in foreign countries rather than Japan.

[Main Part]

Showa Kinen Park invited a former director of Keukenhof in 2003 and asked him to redesign the tulip garden at Showa Kinen Park. In 2006, the renovation was completed and the number of visitors to the tulip garden has more than doubled since then.

Now you can see how I enjoyed viewing tulips at Show Kinen Park.
