– About the Attraction | Ashikaga Wisteria and Nelumbo Day Tour –
▲ Ashikaga Flower Park
Every spring, during wisteria season, the vibrant colors of the wisteria blossoms vie for attention, creating a truly spectacular spectacle. Ashikaga Flower Park boasts a vast wisteria trellis and a wisteria tunnel of white and yellow wisteria flowers, creating a magical experience. The dreamy wisteria tunnel at Ashikaga Flower Park is the only Japanese spot selected as one of CNN's "Top 10 Dreamy Tourist Spots in the World"!
▲Hitachi Seaside Park
Located in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Hitachi Seaside Park boasts a variety of flower species in bloom year-round. The most dreamy of all is the springtime nemara flowers. The approximately three-hectare "Observation Hill" is covered in 4.5 million nemara flowers, making it a must-see dreamscape during a spring trip to Japan! Nemara flowers, approximately 3cm in size, are typically a minor feature in a garden, but their sheer number of small blue flowers blends seamlessly with the sky, creating a captivating sight. The nemara flowers, stained blue by the nemara flowers, create a captivating scene with the sky and ocean.
