Send Flowers to Nara, Japan

Before Kyoto, there was Nara. The first permanent capital of Japan still holds some of the oldest wooden buildings in the world, and deer wander freely through the park between Todaiji temple and Kasuga Taisha shrine. In late April and May the wisteria at Kasuga, the shrine's emblem, comes into bloom and draws flower lovers from across the Kansai region.

Away from the temples, Nara is a quiet residential city. The old merchant quarter of Naramachi has narrow lanes of wooden townhouses, while the western districts around Gakuenmae and Tomigaoka are comfortable suburbs whose residents commute to Osaka. Many households are multigenerational, and recipients are often parents or grandparents.

Calm, traditional taste suits Nara: seasonal flowers in gentle colours are appreciated more than anything flashy. Flower delivery in Nara is next-day, Monday to Saturday, when you order before midnight Japan time. We do not deliver the same day, on Sundays or on national holidays. Lanes in the old town are tight, so a phone number helps the florist.
