[이바라키] Hitachi Seaside Park & Ashikaga Flower Park from Tokyo

• Feast your eyes on abundant blooms during a day trip from Tokyo to Japan’s most treasured parks: Hitachi Seaside Park and Ashikaga Flower Park. At Hitachi, stop by a flowering spring field of nemophila, commonly known as baby blue eyes, and see scarlet colors including red kochia. Then head to must-see Ashikaga, popular for its purple wisteria.

After meeting with the tour conductor, we will embark on a scenic bus journey to our first destination, the stunning Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture. Known for its breathtaking seasonal flower displays, the park’s most famous feature is the vast Nemophila Hill, where millions of delicate blue flowers create a mesmerizing sea of blue. As you stroll through the park, the vibrant colors of the flowers stretch as far as the eye can see, perfectly blending with the blue sky and sea in the distance. Visiting in early spring means witnessing this spectacular "blue carpet," which is best enjoyed from late April to early May. Please note: The Kochia flowers are typically bloom in autumn (late September to early October), so you will not see the famous red hillside during this season.
