The International Horticultural Expo Yokohama 2027 runs from 19 March to 26 September across the large former Kamiseya Communication Facility site, under the theme “Scenery of the Future for Happiness”. Over six months the plants change with the seasons: azaleas and wisteria in spring, lotus and morning glories in summer. Beyond the flowers, you see how people chose, raised and brought these plants into their lives.
