From Tokyo: Ashikaga Flower Park and Hitachi Park Tour

Discover the beauty of Ashikaga Flower Park and Hitachi Seaside Park on a day trip from Tokyo. See the wisteria and nemophila flowers in bloom and enjoy a factory tour at Oarai Mentai Park.
Begin your day at Ashikaga Flower Park, one of Japan’s most iconic wisteria flower destinations. Spanning nearly 9–10 hectares and home to over 350 wisteria trees of various species, the park hosts the famous “Great Wisteria Festival” every spring, attracting visitors from around the world.

The highlight is the 150–160-year-old Great Wisteria Tree, supported by a vast 1,000-square-meter trellis, creating a spectacular purple flower canopy often called the “Miracle Wisteria.” Stroll through an 80-meter-long white wisteria tunnel, golden wisteria tunnel, and soft pink wisteria pergolas. From mid-April to mid-May, different varieties bloom in succession, offering a full month of unforgettable floral beauty.

In the evening, the park transforms during night illuminations, when cascading wisteria flowers glow under soft lights—making it one of Japan’s most romantic and photogenic spring experiences.

Next, head to Hitachi Seaside Park, nationally famous for its springtime nemophila (baby blue eyes) blooms. From mid-April to early May, approximately 4.5 million nemophila flowers blanket Miharashi Hill, forming an endless pale-blue carpet that blends seamlessly with the sky—often described as the “Blue of the Sky and Earth.”

The delicate blue flowers sway gently in the breeze like ocean waves, creating a calming and refreshing atmosphere. With open views, scenic walking paths, and seasonal flowers year-round, this park is a favorite spring destination for couples, families, and photography lovers, and a perfect day trip from Tokyo or the Kanto region.

Finally, visit Oarai Mentai Park, created by the renowned cod roe brand Kanefuku. This family-friendly facility combines a working factory tour, brand exhibits, specialty food court, and a large direct-sale shop.

Walk along a 100-meter glass-walled observation corridor to watch the entire mentai (spicy cod roe) production process—from roe preparation and seasoning to packaging—while learning about Japan’s craftsmanship and quality standards. Don’t miss the chance to sample fresh mentai, mentai rice balls, and even mentai soft-serve ice cream, exclusive to the park.
