Begin your journey with a visit to Hitachi Seaside Park, one of Japan’s most spectacular flower parks located along the Pacific coast in Ibaraki Prefecture. Famous for its incredible seasonal landscapes, the park attracts visitors from all over the world throughout the year.

During spring, millions of blue Nemophila flowers cover the rolling hills, creating a breathtaking blue carpet scenery that looks almost unreal against the open sky. In autumn, the landscape transforms once again as thousands of Kochia bushes turn bright red, offering another unforgettable seasonal view.

The park also features spacious walking trails, cycling courses, flower gardens, observation areas, cafes, and relaxing open spaces where visitors can fully enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty of Japan.

Continue to Ashikaga Flower Park, one of the most famous flower parks in Japan and internationally recognized for its extraordinary Wisteria flowers and magical seasonal illuminations. The park’s main attraction is the giant century-old Wisteria tree, whose hanging purple flowers create a dreamlike floral canopy during blooming season.

Walk through beautiful Wisteria tunnels and enjoy colorful seasonal flowers including roses, tulips, hydrangeas, azaleas, and many other varieties throughout the year. During illumination periods, the park becomes even more enchanting with romantic evening light displays that create a magical atmosphere for sightseeing and photography lovers.

Guests visiting during strawberry season may also enjoy an optional strawberry picking experience at a local strawberry farm near the Ashikaga area. The strawberry farm is open every year from November until May only, where visitors can enter the greenhouse and enjoy fresh, sweet Japanese strawberries directly from the farm. This optional seasonal activity is especially popular during winter and spring seasons and offers a fun and memorable experience for both adults and children. Please note that the strawberry farm remains closed every year from June until October due to the off-season period.

After enjoying nature and sightseeing, continue to Sano Premium Outlets, one of Japan’s most popular outlet shopping destinations. The outlet mall offers a large collection of famous international and Japanese brands including fashion, sportswear, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, bags, and lifestyle products at discounted outlet prices.

Designed in a spacious open-air American-style atmosphere, the outlet also features restaurants, cafes, food courts, and comfortable rest areas where visitors can relax and enjoy shopping before returning to Tokyo.
