Tokyo Hitachi & Ashikaga Flower Park Full-Day Tour

This was an absolutely amazing experience!! Our tour guide, Mr. Kenji, was incredibly kind, communicative, and supportive during our day out. We were lucky to have gone during the "perfect time" as all the flowers were in full bloom so it was incredible to see. I don't think I've ever seen such beautiful flowers in my life. Having the drive, tickets, and lunch (which was a delicious bento box we ate on the go) all taken care of was well worth the expense. We went on a weekday and it was still very crowded, so I would recommend going on a week day still to keep the crowds minimal. We arrived at Hitachi right when the park opened and overall the intinerary was very timely. The Wisteria were amazing and I didn't realize until I arrived that they could smell so wonderful. I don't think my photos do justice to how pretty the views were. Definitely make sure to check the official websites to make sure you go during the right times to get the most out of this experience - highly recommend!!

We really enjoyed the flower tour, despite the rain! Easiest way to go to a few of the gardens in one day. Bento was tasty! Perfect time to go because everything is in flower for spring. The second stop had free rental umbrellas incase you also get a rainy day! Yui was very friendly, helpful and gave clear instructions on when we needed to be back at the bus. The bus driver got us safely between places despite the rain! Recommend if you love to see pretty gardens.

Went on 2nd May. Hitachi first, flowers were still in full bloom, hills of blue. 2 hours was more than enough there, even had ice cream. Umbrella was provided since it rained. Lunch was great, big variety! Next is Ashikaga, all the wisteria was in full bloom also. Pink, white and purple wisteria everywhere. Souvenir shops had alot of things to buy also. Travel bus was fast, the guide, Yui san, gave clear instructions and was very friendly :)

We were so happy to catch the cherry blossoms at their peak! It was incredibly convenient to visit both spots with bus transfers, avoiding the need to change vehicles. The only downside was that the time felt very short, so we couldn't leisurely explore. On the other hand, one advantage over driving ourselves was that some areas have dedicated parking for large buses, which meant we weren't stuck in traffic at the entrance during peak season. Our guide that day was very enthusiastic about sharing information, and the driver was lovely, saying "welcome back." The other tourists were also very punctual, and we're very grateful to everyone!

My tour was on 28 April which basically the full bloom for the nemophila. The flowers are beautiful in both parks (check the blooming status before you go). Our guide Seiko was also helpful in making sure the trip was smooth

Had our day tour with Seiko, he is diligent and speaks good English. he ensures everyone is well taken care of! The tour runs efficiently! love the flowers!

It was a wonderful day trip. Our guide, Yasu, was very personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. He also shared a lot of general knowledge about Japan with us! We had plenty of time to enjoy both parks in full bloom. There are beautiful souvenir shops at Ashikaga Flower Park, and both parks serve really good ice cream. The bento box was very large and tasted absolutely delicious. A big thank you also to Eto, our bus driver! This trip is definitely one of our favorite days in Japan!

It was an amazing tour! Ayumi (our guide) and Emiko (our driver) are so sweet and friendly. Ayumi have been guiding ur trip in English. The trip overall was memorable as we get to see the nemophila and wisteria (white & yellow in full bloom, as purple and pink have passed its season) and other beautiful flowers. The edo period rest stop was okay, not a lot to see there but it was interesting as it was built sknce 200 years ago.

we have a great time during this trip , i recommend to see Tulip at Hitachi seaside park as it’s at it peak now! Ayumi and her colleagues is an excellent guide, Bento box is really nice and delicious. One point i suggest for improvement is to have clear sign at the meeting point as there are 3-4 tour meeting at the same time, so I have to go ask everysingle staff whether this is our tour.

The tour was relaxing and fun way to sample each flower park spots. Our tour guide, Seiko, was wonderful. He explained the time to come back and what each park is famous for. The bento box was huge and so good. We missed the purple wisteria but the yellow ones and a huge variety of flowers were there.
