A park made up of spectacular mosaics
Located in Hitachinaka, a city located in the Ibaraki Prefecture, in Japan, the Hitachi Coastal Park is located in a former United States military base, whose lands were ceded to the Japanese government in 1973. As you can see for yourself in the images that We offer you in the gallery, today it is home to millions of flowers of different species. The flowers are arranged in such a way that they create spectacular mosaic landscapes that change color depending on the season of the year. Even the name of this place is pretty. And it is that Hitachi means "dawn".
Depending on the time of year
One of the things we like the most about this corner of Japan is that not all flowers bloom at the same time, so the park remains colorful practically throughout the year. Of course, with different shades depending on the season. Thus, while in spring tulips, crocuses, daffodils and nemophilas are born; in summer we can see daisies, roses and zinnias blooming. As for autumn, Kochia bushes flood the park in a cozy shade of crimson. Other species that you can see in this park are cherry trees, poppies, cosmos, sunflowers or lilies.
Nemophilas
Although, as we have just mentioned, there are many flowers that flood this place, perhaps the ones that attract the most attention are the nemophilas, which flood a large part of the park in blue when spring arrives. In fact, during this season the Armonia nemofila festival is held in the park, which serves to celebrate the arrival of this precious little flower that numbers in the millions.
Other attractions of the park
Beyond the flowers, Hitachi Coastal Park offers other interesting attractions. For example, inside the park you can find an area of attractions that stands out for having a giant Ferris wheel. In addition, you can find different restaurants. How could it be otherwise, the place is also equipped with picnic areas, very typical in this Asian country. As if all this were not enough, paths have also been installed in the park to travel it on bicycles, which you can rent at different points. There is also the option of taking a train that follows the line of the sea and offers incredible views of the park.
