I read something about it being the most beautiful sight in the world, but I can't find the link now. I think I found out about the place from JNTO but their site doesn't have familiar info. Tatebayashi has this festival from mid-April to mid-May. During the festival, there are shuttle buses that take you to the park directly from the train station. It's been said the azaleas here might be the best in the world. There were many, many shrubs on display in different configurations and with a wide variety of colors. There is even an 800-yr old azalea tree on display.
I can't find any really good links or blogs on the web with pictures that do justice to this place. I did take a lot of pics but felt it wasn't quite peak bloom and was supposed to go back one day but never did.

Now that Sakura season ending North of Tokyo, we heard of Floor Sakura blossoms at the Treasure garden, Tatebayasji, Japan. It's a long travel of around 70 km North of Tokyo by Tobu Isesaki line train, but well worth it. It's a very nicely planned garden (entrance 800 Yen). Inside the garden there are large colourful flower beds of ground Sakura (not cherry blossoms.... they were nearing end). It reminded me of the Tulip beds near the great Kaukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam. ....It was a great spectacle with multiple coloured flower beds. Dropping sakura petals added white colour to the ground. There were not many people around on a Saturday afternoon and an excellent place to spend some quiet time.

We were not prepared for what we would see driving through Gunma en route to this wonderful destination because the area seemed to be drab and peppered with small farms. However, once we turned into the grounds we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by a wonderful rabbit by Pompon, more below. The museum was easy to visit, there is generally no admission fee whatsoever (although on occasion there is a special fee for a loan exhibition). The collection features sculpture on view in a long, unobstructed glass fronted gallery which enables one to walk around and appreciate the works of art in the round. There is an extraordinary collection of engaging animal sculptures by the French artist, Francis Pompon (1855-1933) and as well as his recreated studio. This was a pleasant surprise and well worth the effort to get to.

東武伊勢崎線の館林駅西口駅前に立地しています。
私はたまたま、つつじまつりへ行った後に、時間が余ったので立ち寄った感じだったのですが、予想外に見どころが多かったです。
日清製粉の企業博物館ではありますが、それだけに留まらず創業の正田家のギャラリーを始め、天皇家に嫁いだ皇后美智子さまの話まで出てくるビデオ映像は必見です。
今回はたまたま行ったタイミングで「製粉ラボ教室」という30分程のイベントが開かれている時でした。
単に博物館を見て帰るだけでは物足りないのでイベントに参加しましたが、小麦粉の製粉に関する内容を詳細に教えてもらえる内容でした。
イベント終了後は、ミニチュア製粉機を使って、自身で製粉を体験させてもらいました。
このイベントがあるタイミングに狙い合わせて行くと、入館料以上に楽しめる内容になっていると思います。
他の方も書かれていますが、簡単なアンケートを記入すると、帰りにお土産がもらえます。
この事を考えると入館料200円は、破格の安さのように思えます。

つつじが岡公園で開かれている、つつじまつりを見に行くために単なる道中の経路として立ち寄りました。
川に大量の鯉のぼりがあることで有名なのは前もって知ってはいましたが、それでも4,000匹を超える量となると圧巻の光景です。
この光景は3月末からGWいっぱいまで行われています。
私が行った時は桜が満開を過ぎ散っている時に行ってしまったので、少し残念な時期でした。
近くの公園には駐車場も完備しているため、車で来るのにも便利な場所だと思います。
7. Tatebayashi Azalea Matsuri
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Held every year from mid-April through early May, this festival takes place at the Tsutsujigaoka Park in Tatebayashi, Gunma Prefecture. Azalea have long grown in this area, and they were protected by the daimyo warlords even as far back as over four hundred years ago. Today, this park is designated as a national cultural asset and listed as one of Japan's finest views. The Tatebayashi Azalea Matsuri begins when the azaleas bloom and spans for close to a month. There are also many other rare varietals on view. Guides are in attendance to describe in detail the beauty of the flowers.

つつじまつり開始直後に行きました。
開始直後ということもあり、まだツツジは咲き始めで満開には程遠い感じでした。
(そのため入園料は、安めの310円設定)
そのため所々に点々と咲いている感じで、満開の頃に来ればよかったと落胆しました。
その代わりに、まだ混んでいない園内でしたので、一つ一つのツツジをじっくりと見ることが出来たのは良かったです。
有料エリアはもっと広い敷地だと思っていたのですが、意外と狭いのが逆に驚きでした。
無料エリアとなる新公園の方にも、ツツジがかなり植えられていることもあり、こちらも併せて見ないと物足りない感じでした。

A little bit of everything: swans and ducks in the winter, wisteria blooming in spring, a shrine on a small island in the lake (accessible by bridge), a new pathway around the lake, play area for kids, lots of benches and on clear days, it's possible to get a glimpse of Mt. Fuji! Very peaceful and relaxing park.
