Japan Grand Prix International Orchid and Flower Show
If you are a flower lover visiting Japan in February, then a event that I can’t recommend enough is the Japan Grand Prix International Orchid and Flower Show. It takes place every year in mid-February, in Bunkyo ward, Tokyo.
I went to this event in 2018 for the first time and was fascinated by the immeasurable amount of orchids displayed in a huge exhibition hall, the Tokyo Dome City Prism Hall. I had never seen such a variety of orchids in my life! After all, it is one of the largest orchid exhibitions in the world.
On top of featuring a flower market where you can buy various types of orchids, there is also an arranged orchids exhibition, and a Japan Grand Prix competition to award the most beautiful orchids and floral compositions.
For the 2026 edition, more details will be shared in the coming months, but like past years, the festival will include spectacular displays of orchids, the World Orchid Exhibition Japan Grand Prize, which determines the best orchid in Japan, and the “Flower and Greenery Market”, which brings together around 70 unique stores from Japan and abroad.
