You might wonder where you are, standing in front of the windmill surrounded by tulips. This is a popular place for photos in the park. In front of the windmill is a pond stocked with fish and water lilies that are at their best in summer. To the west of the park, in stark contrast to the modern flower garden is a traditional tea house and garden, Nihon Teien.
Visitors can bring a picnic lunch and relax in the meadows on the hillside. Other choices for food include barbecue (reserve ahead of your visit), or a light lunch at either the tea house next to Nihon Teien, or the canteen near the barbecue area. While you are there, pay a visit to Tokaiji Temple on the little hill above the park.
The park is easily accessed from the Joban Expressway. Alternatively, if you have the energy and time, rent bicycles from Kashiwa City’s bicycle rentals.

🏵 Cool! Akebonoyama Agriculture Park 🇯🇵
#cherryblossom2024
🤗💮 Amidst our luxurious vacation, I embarked on an exhilarating expedition to the resplendent metropolis of Japan. The advent of spring bestowed upon the region an ethereal charm, transforming it into a veritable paradise. As we leisurely wandered through the enchanting Akebonoyama Agriculture Park, a sense of rejuvenation washed over us. Encircled by breathtaking vistas in this serene sanctuary, we found ourselves captivated by the awe-inspiring panoramas that ceaselessly enchanted us, etching indelible memories in our hearts.
Nestled in the heart of Kashiwa city lies a stunning agricultural park boasting around 80,000 vibrant sunflowers that come to life from the middle of July until the end of August. This exquisite park is currently playing host to a lavish summer festival running from July 22 to August 31, inviting visitors to revel in the beauty of the blooming flowers.
Entrance to this enchanting park is complimentary, as is the parking, allowing guests to leisurely explore the sunflower fields without any additional cost. Moreover, visitors have the opportunity to peruse and purchase a variety of exclusive items available for sale, such as delicate wind chimes and captivating picture books, adding a touch of luxury to their experience.
This extravagant and enchanting hideaway has truly made a mark in my memory. The happiness of revisiting and cherishing every moment in this distinctive sanctuary is unmatched. 🌼🌸🌺#mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Akebonoyama Park
#springblossom I’ve visited a number of times. The most recent trip was the best as it felt like some overall improvements and renovations had occurred. The tulip field was beautiful and I appreciated the viola being mixed in with them which gave it a fuller color and bloom. The stalls within the complex were also very good, with some contemporary mixed with others put on by the park at low cost. For 100yen each my kids could enjoy simple games with kind staff encouraging them, most appreciated. Thank you.

Just outside of Tokyo, there are many accessible rural landscapes and parks with great views of the Kanto Plain, the region around Tokyo. In Kashiwa City, not far from the dense city center, is Akebonoyama Agricultural Park, an ideal spot for a day out in an rural landscape.
The park has many landscapes and vantage points in every season. On my most recent visit, I took in the cherry blossom festival in the grove on the hillside. During the festival, you can snack on traditional festival foods such as okonimiyaki, savory pancakes, yakisoba, fried noodles and all kinds of sweets. Under the cherry trees, you will notice some monuments. Over a century ago, haiku poet Kobayashi Issa, just like you, marveled at the beauty around him, and he composed stanzas to commemorate his visit. Time might stand still for you, too, under the gnarled trees.
But Akebonoyama Park is not beautiful only in the spring. It has flower displays throughout the year. Enjoy sunflowers in August, spider lilies in September, and cosmos flowers in November. In the winter months, there are violas and all kinds of hardy plants in the gardens.
