The floating flower event on the island, the country’s No. 1 production area of botan seedlings, delights visitors with the beautiful sight of the flowers in various colors and their sweet scent. The traditional Japanese-style garden holds the event at around this time every year, using flowers that have been pruned by local botan farmers during the seedling growing process.
