Nagoya flower market opens to the public for auctions and autumn flower shopping

Auctions, quizzes, and the fun of choosing autumn flowers

The event runs from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the special event venue on the first floor of the Aichi Meiko Kaki Regional Wholesale Market. The fresh-flower market, normally open only to industry professionals, will open to the public.

The program includes a flower auction, a flower-name quiz, and rock-paper-scissors games. There is more to enjoy than simply buying flowers: you can also take part in quizzes and games. The organizers invite everyone, from flower enthusiasts to beginners, to choose autumn flowers and enjoy the season.

Cut flowers and potted plants will be on sale, along with a seedling grab-bag event. The announcement also mentions seedlings and cut flowers at attractive prices. Prices, the conditions for the grab-bag event, and the day’s selection are not listed, so check at the venue if you are considering a purchase.

There will also be a call for messages for “Good Couple’s Day,” with prizes for selected entries. As well as watching the flower auction and quizzes, visitors can take part by submitting a message.

The class requires advance reservations and has a separate fee

If you would like to try working with flowers, you can join the “Flower-Arranging Class: Adding Color to Autumn.” The class is limited to 20 people and requires advance reservations. It runs from 1:10 pm to 2:00 pm, and participants can enter ahead of other visitors from 12:45 pm. As these times differ from the event’s overall hours, plan your visit around the class if you intend to take part.

The class fee is JPY 2,000 per person, including tax. General admission is free, and the class fee is separate. Reservations are accepted by phone or email. The listed information does not specify a booking deadline or availability, so contact the organizers if you would like to participate.

It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Meitetsu Daidocho Station to the venue, and parking is available. Choose how to spend your visit: browse the flower sales and activities, or make an advance reservation to join the class as well.
