GREEN×EXPO 2027 (International Horticultural Expo, Yokohama)

GREEN×EXPO 2027 is the International Horticultural Expo in Yokohama, Japan. It runs from 19 March to 26 September 2027 on the former Kamiseya Communication Facility site. The expo shows gardens, national pavilions and exhibits about plants, nature and the environment. It is for families, garden lovers, school groups and anyone planning a spring, summer or early autumn trip to Japan.

About GREEN×EXPO 2027 (International Horticultural Expo, Yokohama)

GREEN×EXPO 2027 is an international horticultural exhibition recognised by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), the body that also oversees World Expos. The theme is plants, nature and the environment. Visitors can expect landscaped gardens, displays from Japan and from other countries, and exhibits about how people live with nature.

Because the expo is open for more than six months, it is not a one-weekend event. Visitors can see the gardens change from spring flowers to summer green and early autumn colours.

Details of pavilions, gardens, events and opening hours are published on the official GREEN×EXPO 2027 website. The programme can change before opening, so always check the official site for the latest information before you plan a visit or sell a GREEN×EXPO 2027 travel package.

GREEN×EXPO 2027 dates and venue

The GREEN×EXPO 2027 dates are 19 March to 26 September 2027, as confirmed by Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The expo takes place in Yokohama, in Kanagawa Prefecture, on the site of the former Kamiseya Communication Facility.

Daily opening hours, closed days (if any) and special event days will be announced by the organiser. Spring weekends, the Golden Week holidays in late April and early May, and the summer school holidays are likely to be the busiest times.

How to get to Yokohama for GREEN×EXPO 2027

Yokohama is close to Tokyo, so most international visitors fly into the Tokyo area. The two main airports are Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND), which is the closer one to Yokohama, and Narita International Airport (NRT), which is further east of Tokyo. Both airports have rail and airport bus links towards Yokohama.

Japan has an excellent rail network, so a trip to Yokohama for GREEN×EXPO 2027 is simple from Tokyo or from other cities by Shinkansen (bullet train) to Shin-Yokohama. The expo site is outside the city centre, so check the official website for the access routes and any shuttle services before the visit. For groups, a private coach transfer from the hotel can save time.

Where to stay

Most visitors will stay in central Yokohama. Popular areas include Yokohama Station, which is a major rail hub, and the waterfront area of Minato Mirai, with its harbour views. Shin-Yokohama is practical for travellers who arrive by Shinkansen. Some groups prefer to stay in Tokyo and visit the expo as a day trip.

Spring is a peak season in Japan because of the cherry blossom and Golden Week. Book hotels near the expo and in Yokohama early, especially for March, April and May. For groups, ask for room blocks with clear release dates.
