Another flower paradise that got away! Hamamatsu Flower Park sounds like a botanical greatest hits album - we're talking 300 different species from around the world, all showing off next to Lake Hamana. And it's not just your standard cherry blossoms either - they've got these special Kanzanji and Hina varieties that you don't see everywhere.

The setup sounds pretty perfect - international gardens, a Crystal Palace greenhouse (which sounds fancy), and they even threw in a Ferris wheel because why not get a bird's eye view of all those colors? Plus, they keep the excitement going year-round with different events, like their Chrysanthemum Convention in November and winter light shows.
