Send Flowers to Niigata, Japan

Tulips are the official flower of Niigata, and the surrounding plain is one of the main places in Japan where tulips are grown, both as bulbs and as cut flowers. In spring the fields outside the city turn into bands of red, yellow and pink, so a tulip bouquet here carries real local pride.

Niigata is the largest port on the Sea of Japan coast, set where the Shinano River reaches the sea. The stone arches of Bandai Bridge connect the station side with Furumachi, the old merchant and geisha quarter. The region is equally famous for rice and sake, and many households have farming roots.

Winter is grey, wet and windy, with snow that is heavier inland than in the city itself, while summers are hot and sunny. Recipients are often older relatives of people who have moved to Tokyo or abroad. To send flowers to Niigata, order before midnight Japan time and delivery follows the next day, Monday to Saturday. Same-day delivery is not offered, nor are Sunday or national holiday deliveries.
