Hirado Azalea is an evergreen medium-sized tree of the Ericaceae family.
Azaleas were brought to Hirado in Nagasaki Prefecture from both inside and outside Japan. Hirado has an environment suitable for azalea cultivation, and natural mating and seedlings have been repeated, and a large number of azaleas have been cultivated since ancient times. Among them, we have selected the best one, "Hirado Azalea", and it is called as a generic name for a group of large azalea varieties that spread all over the country and are rich in variation.
It can be seen in various places in Oizumi Ryokuchi, but it is especially common in the northwest of Oizumi Pond, the southwest slope of Mt.
As of April 10, flowers are starting to bloom here and there in the park.

Mokkoubara is a semi-evergreen plant belonging to the family Rosaceae.
The tree shape of roses is divided into three types: "standing", "semi-climbing", and "climbing", but this is a climbing type. This rose is easy to grow because it has no thorns and is less affected by pests.
There are single flowers and double flowers. It is a very strong and vigorous growing plant.
In Oizumi Ryokuchi, pale yellow double flowers can be seen at the entrance arch of Shikisaien and next to the central rest area cafeteria (La Mer), and in Komorebi Garden, white double flowers can be seen.
