Sunset at Hitachi Seaside Park 🌅
Enjoy sunset this fall at Hitachi seaside park. You can enjoy the vibrant colors of the flowers here. The park is wide and you can walk through it. There's a lot of picnic areas in the vicinity. You can bring food and drinks, and sit in the shade. This is one of the highlights of my 2021 travels. We went 3rd week of October, and it was the perfect time.
In 2024, I want to go back here in summer.

Kochia at Hitachi Seaside Park
You can visit this 200 hectare Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture in all seasons. It is home to a variety of flowers that bloom throughout the year. Particularly popular are the fields of densely blooming Nemophila (baby blue eyes) in the spring and the kochia (summer cypress), which turn from green to bright red in the fall. You can enjoy exploring the park on a cycling course (rental bicycles available) or on the cute Seaside Train. This was the view when we went in October 🤩
Access:
From JR Katsuta Station (JR Joban Line), take the Ibaraki Kotsu bus bound for Kaihin Koen Minami Guchi (17 min). Get off at Kaihin Koen Nishi Guchi stop.

Hitachi Seaside’s Kochia
I was so happy to see the kochia at its brightest last week in October. It was scarlet red color that only lasted about a week before it turned brown. It looked like a red blanket on the mountain. For those who prefer an easier way to explore, you can rent bikes or take the shuttle bus to tour the whole area. There was a carnival in the area as well.
