There are over 4.5 million baby blue eyes
flowers
at the Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture. The
flower blooms from mid-April to mid-May.
Hitachi Seaside Park is located in
the
northern region of
Ibaraki Prefecture. The park covers 190 hectares or 470
acres. All year round there are different varieties of
flowers blooming in the park. The Nemophila Harmony
even refers to the 4.5 million baby blue eye flowers that
bloom in from late April to mid-May. The best time to see
the field is when there is a clear blue sky, which can be
hard to predict since the park is near the ocean. From
late March to mid-April you can see one million daffodils
of 600 varieties blooming. It is known as the Suisen
Fantasy and the flowers can be found in the land under
the pinewoods. The sweet smelling area is blanketed in
light and shadow as the pinewood trees provide that
contrast.
At the end of the Suisen Fantasy is the time when the
Tulip World begins. There are over 280,000 colorful
tulips
of 220 varieties in the field. In late September to mid-
October is the Kochia Carnival. The kochias (summer
cypress) on the Miharashi hills turn from green to a
crimson red. On the same hill there are cosmoses of
pink, white, and red blooming and signaling the
beginning
of the autumn season. At the Hitachi Seaside Park there
are many bicycles trails that patrons may use to travel
the large area. There is the Seaside Train that goes
throughout the park and allows you to relax and view
the
flowers in the different gardens.
The main attraction is indeed the flowers, but there is an
amusement park located in the grounds called Pleasure
Garden. You can find a small roller coaster, a labyrinth,
water playground, miniature golf, BMX course, and huge
Ferris wheel. From the Ferris wheel you can see the
entire park from the top. In the summer time there is an
event that brings in many rock music fans called Rock in
Japan Festival. It is usually scheduled around August
and is the largest rock festival in Japan.
