Peony Fair 2025: Bringing Seasonal Beauty to Your Home

As spring unfolds into summer, a beautiful selection of peonies will take center stage at local supermarkets in the Tokyo area, thanks to the efforts of Merci Flower Co., Ltd. Starting May 22, 2025, the Peony Fair invites customers to adorn their homes with these exquisite flowers at an approachable price.

A Touch of Elegance

Peonies, renowned for their stunning blooms and fragrant allure, embody beauty and grace. They are often compared to the elegance of a woman in movement, just as the saying goes, "When standing, a peony; seated, a lotus; and walking, a lily." Despite the brief blooming period from late May to early June, these flowers have captivated many with their lavish appearance and sweet scent.

At the Peony Fair, one can find individual stems that exhibit an impressive presence or opt for larger bouquets for a more dramatic display. The warm and inviting aroma these flowers produce adds a calming atmosphere to any space, making them perfect for enhancing interior decor.

Why the Peony Fair?

Launching in 2016, the Peony Fair epitomizes Merci Flower's commitment to delivering high-quality flowers at prices accessible to all. The fair showcases the beauty of peonies and presents them as a fixture in everyday life rather than merely luxurious items reserved for special occasions.

Originally, peonies were associated with upscale flower shops, but Merci Flower’s efforts in promoting this fair have opened the door for many customers to experience these flowers directly in their regular shopping venues. The fair has transformed into a community favorite, attracting both new and returning customers who may have previously bought from specialty stores.

Quality Peonies at Affordable Prices

This year, Merci Flower aims to sell approximately 30,000 carefully curated stems of peonies sourced from Japan’s premium production area in Nakano, Nagano. Customers can expect reasonable pricing, with singles available at around 400 to 600 yen (excl. tax) per two stems, and convenient bouquets combined with seasonal flowers priced at about 500 to 600 yen (excl. tax).

Ensuring freshness, Merci Flower manages the entire process, from sourcing and packing to delivery, to guarantee that these delicate flowers arrive at the supermarkets in pristine condition. By collaborating with around 650 supermarkets, of which approximately 200 will be directly participating in the fair, Merci Flower leverages bulk buying to keep costs low. This model not only reduces pricing but also integrates flower purchases seamlessly into daily shopping routines.

Convenience and Accessibility

The Peony Fair is about more than just beautiful flowers; it emphasizes the convenience of purchasing flowers alongside daily essentials. Customers can easily include floral arrangements in their shopping baskets and check out during regular grocery shopping. With the added benefit of finding seasonal flowers timed perfectly for this event, integrating nature’s beauty into daily life has never been simpler.

To discover the participating supermarkets, customers can visit the Merci Flower website or use the chatbot service, Melt-kun, for quick assistance. Additional resources, including tips on how to care for and arrange peonies, are available on their homepage. Interested individuals can also keep up with the latest updates by following Merci Flower's official Instagram account.
