The Secret of the Family Slope: Tulip Bulbs Actually Lie Beneath the Slope!?

Tulips (typically mid-May to late May)

Tulip bulb planting work (early November)

The area that is adorned with tulips and cosmos as a "flower field" in summer transforms into a "ski slope" in winter. Tulip bulbs that will bloom next spring are planted in early November before snow accumulates. Check out Takino Park's YouTube channel to see how the "flower field" with its level differences is transformed into a "ski slope."

Practice a lot at Palette Square and then challenge the Family Slope!
