today by visiting the most attractive rosegardens among of more than 400 in the city.
The Convention will be held mainly at hotels
within walking distance of Fukuyama’s
main station, Fukuyama Station.

The citizens planted roses about 60 years ago in the hope of creating apeaceful town. The roses gave the people the courage to live, and soon
became a symbol of peace. Thus, Fukuyama's history of embodying thephilosophy of the SDGs* is a gift from the past.
