Freesia Festival in Hachijojima Island 八丈島フリージアまつり

Come to Hachijojima Island, which is roughly 300 km south of mainland Tokyo, for the annual Freesia Festival. The mere sight of these colorful freesia blossoms soothes the soul, as the flowers' fragrance fills the air. Enjoy an outdoor tea ceremony as you gaze upon the splendid, expansive fields of flowers. The festival also has an area where you can pick flowers for free. What's more, you'll find a market selling Hachijojima's specialties—starting with freesias, of course.
