Choose accommodation that suits you

The paths in the rose garden have ramps for viewing the roses; this does not mean that all facilities or hotels are fully accessible. According to the city, the Kiratto Festival is held every summer, but you should check the specific dates. Compare the hotel address and travel time to the garden, wetland, or house.
