Tonami Tulip Park

Access by car is usually about a 7-minute drive after getting off at the Hokuriku Expressway Takaoka Tonami Smart IC. However, during the Tulip Fair, it's expected to be very crowded. If you don't want to get caught in traffic, it's also a good idea to get off at the interchange before Tonami. If you're using public transportation, the nearest station is JR Tonami Station. From there, you can take a taxi or a free shuttle bus that runs during the season and arrive in about 5 minutes. Many people also walk from JR Tonami Station to the south entrance of the park, which takes about 11 minutes on foot. Additionally, you can rent a bicycle at the JR Tonami Station Tourist Information Center, so consider using it if the weather is good.

At Tulip Park, the parking lot is normally free and there are spacious parking lots surrounding the area. The main ones are located on the side of the "Tulip Color Museum," "Tonami City Art Museum," and "Tonami City Cultural Hall." During the Tulip Fair, a parking fee of 500 yen is charged. During the rest of the year, when the season arrives, there are many one-way signs and it is expected to be very crowded, so it is recommended to head there early if you want to park nearby. However, there are many temporary parking lots opened by individuals near the venue, so if you want to park quickly, it may be a good idea to use them. You can easily find signs for temporary parking lots while driving along National Route 156.

As of 2023, the admission fee for the Tulip Fair is 1,300 yen for adults (high school students and above) and 200 yen for elementary and junior high school students. It's a good deal to purchase advance tickets, which are sold at convenience stores and on the web, as they are each 100 yen cheaper. Additionally, parking during the fair period is charged at 500 yen. Children's Day on May 5th is free for junior high school students and younger, so it's a great opportunity for those with children. Outside of the fair period, admission is free.
