Hitachi Seaside Park

The Japanese National Seaside Park Hitachi, located in the city of Hitatinaka (Ibaraki Prefecture), was built in 1991 on the site of a former American military base and currently occupies 1.2 ^km2.

This is a great place to relax for the whole family - in addition to contemplating the most beautiful landscapes, you can swim in the pool, have fun in the luna park and chat with animals at the zoo, and amazingly beautiful flowers can be observed here throughout the year. In a certain season, some kind of flower blooms in the park. Flower fields are spread out on the slope of Miharashi, which offers a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean.

Hitachi Park is especially famous for its blue nemophila flowers with transparent blue petals. During a certain period of the year, more than 5 million blue nemophiles bloom throughout the park area. This period is called the harmony of the nemophiles and thousands of enthusiastic visitors gather to see this riot of blue colors. Flower festivals are often held in the Hitachi Seaside Park, for which whole fields of tulips, poppies, daffodils, lilies, sakura, etc. are grown. Once a year, one of the most breathtaking festivals is held, Harmony and the Nemophiles, when millions of nemophiles bloom on the hills in early May.

In addition to nemophiles, Hitachi Park has more than a million daffodils blooming among the pines, approximately 170 species of tulips and many other flowers. The park is covered with forests, gardens, a mini amusement park and miles of walking and cycling paths.
