Join us for a special day at Hakone Gardens on Wednesday, September 9th, 2026 — featuring a guided tour, a flower workshop, and a special lunch with Nicolai Bergmann.

While the garden is normally closed on Wednesdays, it will open exclusively for this one-day event, offering a rare chance to spend the day with Nicolai Bergmann across the garden's vast, undisturbed grounds. Using susuki, a Hakone specialty, you'll create a pink arrangement inspired by the soft, undertone hues of Sengokuhara's iconic silver grass fields in full bloom. Nicolai Bergmann will guide you through the process from start to finish, making this workshop perfect for beginners as well.

The day also includes a garden tour and a special lunch featuring local ingredients from the Hakone area.

Spend an extraordinary day at Hakone Gardens, with no one else around but you and Nicolai Bergmann.
