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!

Great park for about 450 yen entry fee for adults, you get to have a great experience with a lot of things to do: rent a bike, boating on the lake, ride with a small train on wheels, hiking spots, lots of kids playgrounds, barbecue area, amazing tulips gardens in spring time and probably many more. It's a huge area, so walking on foot could be exhausting, but renting a bike for about 420 yen for 3 hours seems a pretty good deal. There are places to rest, eat, drink, toilets, so all the commodities needed. Make sure to respect the closing hours, as in weekdays it's open until 17:00 and on weekends until 18:00. Have a great time!

We went for the Japan Cup which is a huge Race and which attracts enormous crowds ( this year was the lowest at around 90,000 but one year nearly 190,000 turned up ) and the atmosphere is fantastic. This pace is huge and you never really notice the number of spectators until the big race when it gets a bit crowded but you will still find a spot with a good view. The paddock is at the back of the grandstand and after the race the winning horse and jockey go to the Winners Circle in between the track and the grandstand at the front. Admission is just 200 yen ( around £1.50 !! ) and certainly for this day by going to the information desk you could get an English racecard and a handy gadget for holding over the betting tickets so you easily see what boxes to fill out for the bets you wanted. There are food options everywhere, a museum and a gift shop the size of a small supermarket. If you like Horse Racing you cannot fail to enjoy a day out here.

If you are in the city, you should add Gunma Flower Park in your itinerary. I like to spend long hours just sitting under the tree and read good books, after I took some many photos for my blog. And also appreciate the natural scents of these gorgeous flowers, its like in a fairytale.
