Hitsujiyama Park, Municipal park in Chichibu, Japan
Hitsujiyama Park is a municipal park in Chichibu with walking paths and observation points set across rolling terrain planted with seasonal flowers. The grounds feature open green areas where visitors can move at their own pace and find different vantage points to view the landscape.
The park was established in 1980 based on design principles by landscape architect Seiroku Honda. These foundational concepts continue to shape how the grounds are arranged and maintained today.
The Shibazakura Festival brings people together each spring to celebrate the blooming of pink moss phlox across the hillsides. This gathering reflects how the place has become woven into local traditions and seasonal rhythms.
The park is best visited in spring, particularly April and May, when the pink flowers are in full bloom. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since the paths climb over hills and require steady footing.
The park contains more than 400,000 pink moss phlox plants across 10 different varieties. This mix allows the flowering period to span several weeks because different types bloom at slightly different times.
