DISCOVER FUKUI

This long event, held from late June to early August each year, attracts many visitors who come to catch a glimpse of the lotus flowers in full bloom in the park. During this period, there are many lotus-themed events. 

Zobana Cup
The elephant nose cup is made by making a hole in a large lotus leaf and drinking from it through a straw-like stem. The name comes from the stem's resemblance to an elephant's nose. This is a unique experience that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike! It is said that the mixture of lotus extract from the stem fibers helps prevent summer fatigue.
