Hitachi Seaside Park, public park in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan
Hitachi Seaside Park is a large outdoor space in Hitachinaka with flower fields, green lawns, and a small amusement section covering about 350 hectares. The park features walking trails through natural forest, native coastal gardens, and landscaped garden areas that showcase different plantings throughout the year.
The park was developed with care to preserve its natural setting while offering visitors access to the outdoors and recreation. Over time, the garden spaces have grown organically with the seasons while maintaining traditional Japanese structures and historic farmhouses.
The park's name reflects its seaside location and ties to the city of Hitachi. Visitors encounter Japanese traditions throughout, from restored farmhouses that show rural life to seasonal festivals that celebrate nature's cycle and bring people together.
Visitors can walk, rent bicycles, or take a small train to explore different areas without long walks, and separate paths keep pedestrians and cyclists safe. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for longer strolls, and the park is designed so people with wheelchairs can move around easily.
Miharashi Hill turns into a sea of millions of blue nemophila flowers each spring, creating the impression that the sky has descended to the ground. In autumn, the same hillside transforms into warm shades of red and orange from blooming kochia bushes, drawing thousands of visitors each year.
