Japan Grand Prix International Orchid and Flower Show
An important event for flower lovers is definitely the Japan Grand Prix International Orchid and Flower Show. It takes place in Tokyo in mid-February every year.
I went to this event in 2018 for the first time and was fascinated by the immeasurable amount of orchids displayed in a huge exhibition hall, the Tokyo Dome in Bunkyo ward. I had never seen such a variety of orchids in my life! After all, it is one of the largest orchid exhibitions in the world.
On top of featuring a flower market where you can buy various types of orchids, there is also an arranged orchids exhibition, and a Japan Grand Prix competition to award the most beautiful orchids and floral compositions.
I am sure this event has grown to be even more spectacular since my last visit!
