An annual chrysanthemum exhibition held on the grounds of Hiratsuka Hachimangu Shrine in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, organized by the Hiratsuka City Tourism Association with the city's support. Around 100 pots of large-bloom chrysanthemums and other works such as cascade and bonsai styles, grown by members of the Hiratsuka Chrysanthemum Society, are displayed on the shrine grounds. Cut flowers are sold on some days during the event. It is usually held in early November; in 2024 it ran from November 1 to 15. Admission is free.
