Suigo-Itako Iris Garden

The Suigo-Itako Iris Garden, covering an area of approximately 1.3 hectares, is located along the river in Itako City. Every year, from late May to late June, around 1 million irises of 500 varieties bloom in full glory. At the Suigo-Itako Iris Festival, held during the blooming season, visitors can experience the traditional culture of Itako City.
In the past, robune (Japanese rowboat) were commonly used in Itako City, much like private vehicles for traveling along the waterways. These boats were also used for a wedding tradition— to bring a bride to her husband's home. Today, the Yomeiribune (bride boat), which recreates this tradition, is a popular event held during the festival. Visitors can also enjoy robune tours and the Ayame Dance.

In addition to irises, the park also features seasonal flowers such as cherry blossoms, azaleas, wisteria, and hydrangeas.
