The Nagabiki-no Lily Sample Garden in Uozu City, Toyama, is currently showcasing approximately 4,700 lilies of 24 different varieties [1].

This seasonal display serves as a primary local attraction for early summer, offering residents and tourists a sensory experience through the scent and color of large-bloom flowers. The garden also provides an economic opportunity for local horticulture by allowing visitors to purchase cut flowers, or whole plants.

The lilies are exhibited across three vinyl greenhouses [1]. According to the garden's records, the bulbs were planted in April [2] and have grown steadily to reach their peak. The blooming period began in late June [2].

Visitors have expressed appreciation for the timing of the blooms. One visitor said, "It is just right for decorating for the Buddha. Since it ends quickly when in full bloom, it was good that there were buds."

Other guests noted the enduring appeal of the site. Another visitor said, "It is beautiful. I come every year."

When asked about color preferences, one guest said, "I like pink, but my husband likes yellow."

The garden will remain open to the public through July 24 [1].

“The garden features 24 varieties and approximately 4,700 lilies.”

The success of the Nagabiki-no Lily Sample Garden highlights the role of specialized botanical displays in regional tourism for Toyama Prefecture. By integrating a retail element where visitors can buy the plants they admire, the garden transforms a passive viewing experience into a direct-to-consumer market for local flora.
