Hitachi Seaside Park

Located in the area facing the Pacific Ocean in the city of Hitachinaka, Hitachi Seaside Park offers beautiful flowers in its well-kept, large gardens throughout the year. In spring, narcissuses, tulips and nemophila (baby blue eyes) attract lots of visitors. In early summer, poppies and roses, and in summer, zinnias and sunflowers, bloom. In autumn, you can enjoy kochia (summer cypress) and cosmos flowers. In winter, ice tulips can be seen, making for a rich complement of flora throughout the year. The Pleasure Garden, which features over 25 rides and attractions, includes a Ferris Wheel sitting 100m above sea level and offering outstanding views. Other destinations that allow you to enjoy nature include the Rinkan Athletic Grounds, Barbecue Zone, and Cycling Course.

I visited the park on 31Oct 2018. We took the JR train from Ueno station, it only took us less than 2 hours. There is a feeder bus waiting outside the station, you pay the bus tickets and also the entrance fee of the park too. When you get to the park, you have a choice of walking or taking the tram ( 500yen) that circles around the huge park but you can drop off and on anytime at certain location. My favourite place is the Kochia hill, where you can walk around the kochia plants till the top of the hill surrounded with bright reddish colours. The beautiful surroundings actually lifted my mood and gives me immediate sense of happiness! There are other plants and huge trees in the park, we had coffee at the nice outdoor cafe surrounded with big trees, it's so serene and calm there. Such a fascinating autumn experience! It's worth the trip here from Tokyo!

The Kobuntei is in the park and one has to pay a small entrance fee. After taking ones shoes off, you follow the signs and so see all accessible spaces. Certainly worth a visit.
