A Touch of Spring in Winter

Shimoda Daffodil Festival

— An early spring greeting from Aquaholic Iritahama —

Hello from Aquaholic Iritahama,

During the crisp winter months, the coastal town of Shimoda City welcomes a beautiful seasonal tradition—the Shimoda Daffodil Festival.
At Cape Tsumekizaki, millions of delicate white daffodils bloom across the seaside hills, creating a breathtaking contrast against the deep blue ocean and offering a gentle hint that spring is on its way.


🌼 Shimoda Daffodil Festival – Event Details

Dates: December 20, 2025 – January 31, 2026
Location: Tsumekizaki Daffodil Colony, Shimoda, Shizuoka
Admission: Free (parking fees apply)

Stroll along the coastal paths and enjoy the fresh sea breeze infused with the soft fragrance of daffodils—an experience unique to this time of year.


🌿 Our Recommendation from Aquaholic Iritahama

After visiting the festival, we invite you to spend some quiet time at Irirahama.
Winter in Shimoda is calm and unhurried, making it the perfect season to relax in an onsen, take peaceful beach walks, and truly unwind away from the crowds.

While spring may still feel far away elsewhere, here in Shimoda you can experience an early glimpse of spring surrounded by nature.
