Moss Pink Hill, Flower garden in Hitsujiyama Park, Chichibu, Japan
The hill covers 17,600 square meters and contains 400,000 pink moss plants in nine varieties, spreading in waves across Hitsujiyama Park terrain and forming colored carpets of low-growing blooms across sloping ground.
Development of this attraction started in 2007 with a five-year plan that transformed the landscape into an extensive flower garden, fundamentally reshaping the terrain through systematic planting and landscape architecture.
The hill displays moss patterns reflecting motifs from the Chichibu Night Festival, integrating regional traditions into garden design and creating connections between natural beauty and local customs through deliberate plant arrangements.
Visitors reach the garden after a 20-minute walk from Seibu-Chichibu Station or Yokose Station on the Seibu Railway line, with optimal visiting time from mid-April to early May during peak flowering season.
Ten varieties of moss phlox create a multicolored carpet against Mount Buko, with each variety contributing different pink tones from pale white-pink to deep magenta, producing a natural color spectrum across the hillside.

This collection leads to places that remain outside standard tourist circuits. The selection includes natural landscapes and cultural sites that receive limited attention from international visitors. From the salt flats of Bolivia to ancient ruins in Turkish mountain terrain and the ice formations of Lake Baikal, the collection provides access to less frequented regions. Natural phenomena include the Benagil Cave along Portugal's Algarve coast, the Great Blue Hole off Belize, and the sandstone formations of The Wave in Arizona. Cultural sites such as Quinta da Regaleira near Lisbon, the abandoned nitrate town of Humberstone in Chile, and the fortified Berber village of Ait Benhaddou in Morocco show historical building methods and past ways of life. The Meteora monasteries in Greece and the Waitomo glowworm caves in New Zealand demonstrate the connection between human settlement and natural environment. The locations span all continents and climate zones. They range from tropical regions like the turquoise river at Hinatuan in the Philippines, through temperate zones like the Cinchado rock formation on Tenerife, to remote areas such as Pangong Lake in Indian Ladakh and the limestone pinnacles of Tsingy de Bemaraha in Madagascar. The collection allows travelers to experience regional characteristics without commercial tourism infrastructure.
