Enjoy the Rose Season at Yokosuka Modern Heritage Museum Thibaudier Residence!

A special event celebrating the spring rose season will be held at the Thibaudier Residence, a historic building located within Verny Park in Yokosuka City.

Mark your calendars for May 3rd (Friday) and May 4th (Saturday) as the two-day event promises to delight visitors with the beauty of blooming roses.

"Thibaudier Residence". The Thibaudier Residence was the official residence for Jules César Claude Thibaudier, the assistant superintendent of the Yokosuka Arsenal. It was constructed around 1869 and was the oldest western building in Honshu until it was disassembled in 2003. The building's appearance from the period is recreated using timber-framed bricks for the walls and trusses for the flat roof. Visitors can see the actual timber-framed brick walls and trusses, which were transferred from the Thibodier residence.

In the reproduction zone of the residence, you can admire beautiful live rose flowers adorning the terrace. There will also be large bouquets of fresh roses available for visitors to hold and capture memorable photos.

Verny Park: Spring Rose Festival

Alongside the Thibaudier Residence event, Verny Park will host the “Spring Rose Fiesta 2024” from May 3rd (Fri) to May 5th (Sun). Over these three days, various activities and events await attendees.

On May 3rd (Fri), there will be music performances, and throughout the event, there will be a market selling rose seedlings, seasonal herbs, flower seedlings, and handmade goods. Food trucks will offer delicious treats, adding to the festive atmosphere. Visitors can also enjoy free entry to the French-style rose garden.
