Unveiling the Secret Beauty of Red Rose Garden
From April 25 to May 31, 2026, the prestigious Hotel New Otani in Tokyo will open its spectacular rooftop garden, the
Red Rose Garden, to a select group of visitors during the
Red Rose Garden Special Month. This enchanting space is adorned with approximately 30 varieties of stunning red roses, totaling 30,000 blooms, creating a breathtaking visual treat that is cherished by many.
Experience the Garden's Splendor
The
Red Rose Garden was envisioned by world-renowned floral decorator Kenneth Turner and opened its doors in November 2000 as part of an initiative to green the hotel’s rooftop. With each season, particularly in spring and autumn, over 30,000 red roses burst into bloom, transforming the garden into a captivating oasis. Families are invited to participate in special activities during the Golden Week, along with exclusive accommodation and dining plans that include tickets to the garden.
Families visiting this spring can explore the garden’s beauty as it becomes a vibrant sea of color with roses in full bloom, embellishing the gazebo and archways with floral arrangements. This limited access spot, largely known only to members and event participants, offers unique experiences like luxurious afternoon teas and hotel stay packages tailored to immerse guests in the magic of the
Red Rose Garden.
