Omiya Bonsai Village

Omiya Bonsai Village is a place full of outstanding bonsai plants that is located a few minutes' walk from the Omiya Bonsai Art Museum. Omiya Bonsai Village traces its origins to the period immediately after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, when a group of bonsai growers from Tokyo relocated to the Omiya area; at its peak, Omiya Bonsai Village had around 30 commercial bonsai gardens. Today, there are still five bonsai gardens in the village, each cultivating its own unique types of bonsai. Some of the gardens offer bonsai-growing experience activities. Omiya Dai Bonsai Festival is held on May 3-5 every year, attracting large numbers of bonsai enthusiasts from Japan and overseas.
