Meet with Flowers in TOKYO YNK,” a floral event held every spring and celebrating its 6th anniversary this year, will be held from March 18 (Wed) to April 5 (Sun), 2026. The YNK area of Yaesu, Nihonbashi, and Kyobashi, where the event will be held, once developed as the Edo Castle Town, where the townspeople nurtured their “flower culture. At that time, flowers and plants were everywhere in the town, and Edo was so closely connected with flowers that it was called a horticultural city.
At 20 locations within the historic YNK area, a variety of flower-themed contents will be offered, including the distribution of domestically produced cut flowers, workshops to experience flowers, exhibitions of contemporary flower arrangement works, and live music.

Send Flowers,” a free distribution of cut flowers that has become an annual event, is a popular attraction every year. This year, approximately 11,000 flowers, mainly brightly colored gerberas, will be distributed at 15 locations in the YNK area, so enjoy walking around town with spring-colored flowers in your hands. For details, check out the TOKYO YNK MAP!

One of the main attractions of this event is the “Ikebana Project: “ism.”, a project to promote the potential of ikebana as a contemporary art form. Ten up-and-coming ikebana artists will present special exhibitions at four venues in the area. Each venue will be decorated with ikebana art that combines tradition with free and challenging expression. The overall director of the exhibition, Saifo Ohzono, a Sogetsu master and contemporary flower arrangement artist, and Sekisai, a design studio specializing in 3D printing, have collaborated in different fields to create a large scale work of art.

In addition, there will be an exhibition of floral objects, including “Okame Hanabase” by artist SASAMANA. In addition, in cooperation with #flowership, a flower store dealing in ross flowers, a sustainable and spectacular workshop will be held in Tokyo Midtown Yaesu. Come visit this event and experience the charm of flowers as you walk through the city.
