Send Flowers to Utsunomiya, Japan

About an hour north of Tokyo by Shinkansen, Utsunomiya is the capital of Tochigi, a prefecture known across Japan for its strawberries. The city itself is best known for gyoza dumplings, served in dozens of specialist restaurants around the station, and for the soft green Oya stone quarried on its western edge and used in walls and storehouses throughout the area.

Utsunomiya is a practical, car-oriented city with large industrial parks to the east, where engineers and their families make up a good share of the population. A light rail line now connects the station with those eastern districts. Homes are mostly detached houses with parking, which makes doorstep delivery straightforward.

The inland climate brings hot summers with dramatic afternoon thunderstorms and cold, dry winters. Many visitors pass through on the way to the shrines of Nikko. To send flowers to Utsunomiya, order before midnight Japan time and a local florist delivers the next day, Monday to Saturday. There is no same-day delivery, and none on Sundays or national holidays.
