The garden is very convenient to get to. The garden is very large and spacious. There is a bicycle rental service. I went to see the garden during Golden Week 2023. There were a lot of tourists. The queue to buy ice cream was quite long. The atmosphere is good. The flowers are very beautiful.

Hitachinaka

the view simply breathtaking. the blue flower is so beautiful. good for family outing. nice place to chill and eat while looking at flower.  besides they have tulip garden too. 1 hours plus journey from Shinjuku with reserved seat train.

A huge park where one can see the 360&deg; views of this beautiful vast landscape. Seas of colourful yellow &amp; blue flowers/plants. Especially beautiful when the wind blows &amp; you see the swaying of the flowers/plants. It is very far from Tokyo. Though beautiful,it may not be worth going all the way here just for this park- unless one has plans to go somewhere not too far from here.

Hitachi Seaside Park, located in Ibaraki Prefecture, southeast of Tokyo, attracts attention with its butterfly flowers in spring and is famous for its broom grass in autumn. The blue butterfly flower sea can only be seen here. It is unique and beautiful. The most dreamy thing about the butterfly flower is that when the sun shines on it, it will reflect light. From a distance, it is a piece of pink and blue. After taking pictures, it will shine and feel very dreamy. The end of April and the beginning of May is the flowering period of the butterfly flower. It is also the most popular flower viewing spot in Japan. In addition to Kairakuen and Hitachi Station, the purpose of Lulu&#39;s trip to Mito in spring 2019 is to chase the butterfly flowers. From Mito, take two train stops to Katsuta and transfer to the Ibaraki bus for 15 minutes to get directly to the west exit of the park. The transportation is very convenient. Today, 5/6, is Sunday, and it is the last day of Japan&#39;s May Day holiday. Men and women, young and old, continue to pour into this large park. There are also bands from more than 20 schools.

Rent a bicycle and you can basically explore this huge park in 3 hours. Although it is only open for a third of the day, the butterfly flowers are still the most eye-catching. The cherry blossoms are still there, and the seaside park in mid-April is worth seeing. The round-trip subway package of 1,100 yen including the ticket is quite convenient, and you can go there from Katsuta.

You can tell from the museum logo that sharks are the top attraction. There are many species, some fierce and some cute... Sunfish are also a highlight, and the sardine school is spectacular. I don't quite understand why Japanese aquariums like to keep marine animals such as dolphins. Why... There are also many huge specimens in the museum, including sunfish, sharks and whales. It seems that they are all caught by the fixed nets of Hitachi City next door. Please be careful when passing by the sea.
