Horikiri Shobuen（Iris Garden）

堀切菖蒲園

About 6000 stalks of 200 types of irises

Vibrantly-colored irises in purple, white, and other colors, reminiscent of the atmosphere from the Edo period. The peak viewing period is usually from early to mid-June and the sight of the irises wet with morning dew or rain is extremely atmospheric. The "Katsushika Iris Festival" is also held starting from late May. The free entry is also nice.
