The Experience
★ Admire 5.3 million nemophila flowers in full bloom on Miharashi Hill at Hitachi Seaside Park, one of the largest displays in Japan. The endless 360-degree sea of blue feels like walking through the sky itself. Relax and enjoy a soothing moment surrounded by a breathtaking panorama created by delicate nemophila blossoms, blue skies, and the ocean.
★ In April, enjoy colorful tulips and rapeseed flowers blooming in the Egg Forest Flower Garden as well.
★ Check out the official 2024 Hitachi Seaside Park Nemophila YouTube video here for a preview of this stunning scenery.
Here is a natural, tour-friendly English translation:
★ The Ashikaga Flower Park bursts into bloom with over 350 wisteria trees, creating a truly spectacular floral display. The highlight is the magnificent Great Wisteria, over 150 years old and covering an area equivalent to 600 tatami mats. In 2014, it was selected as the only location in Japan among CNN’s “10 Dream Destinations in the World.”
★ HIS Original Cherry-Blossom Bento prepared by Manenya, a popular bento shop in Ibaraki Prefecture, is included. (The bento will be handed out upon departure from Hitachi Seaside Park and can be enjoyed on the bus.)
＜Distribution method improved based on customer feedback★＞ In previous years, bento boxes were distributed upon arrival at Hitachi Seaside Park. However, based on customer comments such as:
- “It’s a waste of precious sightseeing time to stop and eat,”
- “Carrying the bento around the park is inconvenient,” and
- “Park tables are crowded and it takes time to find a place to eat,”
we have changed the distribution time. The bento will now be provided when departing from Hitachi Seaside Park, allowing you to relax and enjoy your meal comfortably on the bus.
