Mizumaki Town Cosmos garden on the banks of the Onga River
水巻町 遠賀川河川敷のコスモス園
Riverbank park with beautiful cosmos flowers carefully nurtured by volunteers.
The cosmos garden is located on the banks of the Onga River, which flows west of Mizumaki Town. More than five million cosmos plants, which are cultivated and managed by local volunteers from sowing seeds to cultivation, bloom with beautiful, colourful pink and white flowers from mid- to late-October every year. The 6 km cosmos road along the river is a sight to behold.
The riverbed is well maintained and is loved by locals as a training and cycling road for walking and running.
The Cosmos Festival, usually held in October at the adjacent Midorin Park, is recommended for families as there are events and stalls for children.
