Spring Flower Viewing Limited: Ashikaga Flower Park Wisteria & Hitachi Seaside Park Nemophila (Departing from Tokyo)

Our tour guide, Zoe, was incredibly attentive and fluent in English, Japanese, Mandarin, and Cantonese! The day before the trip, she sent a thoughtful reminder with all the details, including bringing an umbrella in case of rain and a power bank since there wouldn't be charging on the bus. Thirty minutes before arriving at each attraction, she would explain the site to us in the car. Once we arrived, she was enthusiastic about helping us take photos and pointing out the best spots, as well as restaurants and souvenir shops. We are so grateful for Zoe's meticulous and thoughtful arrangements behind the scenes, which made this trip so smooth! I've been on many local tours, and Zoe's arrangements were the most seamless. Although the nemophila and wisteria weren't at their best, we still enjoyed camellias, yellow wisteria, and a beautiful rose garden 🌹. Thank you, Zoe, for your dedication and hard work, which made this such a wonderful flower-viewing trip.

A perfect day trip. Ashikaga flower park was one of the most beautiful places on earth and we were so luckily to be there during the full bloom right before golden week. The tour guide Zoe was very efficient and provided great English instruction. Thank you for the perfect experience!

Zoe (our tour guide) was great and attentive throughout! She kept us updated through the whole trip from traffic to how long we'll stay, where and when we will meet etc. Zoe also informed us on what to expect on each destination. She even offered to take pictures which we were very thankful for. The wisteria in ashikaga park were very beautiful and fragrant. The nemophilia in hitachi park were great as well. Hitachi park was very huge so with the limited time, you can only really explore 2-3 areas on the park (Our guide told us this so our expectations were set beforehand). Ashikaga was smaller and quicker to navigate. The time spent on the bus is very long so bring comfortable items. We enjoyed the trip very much.

Good day tour from Tokyo Station, sufficient time for both parks and the flowers were really beautiful, no need to transfer trains or wait long to get in because it was a group ticket

This trip was very beautiful, our tour guide, Zoe, help us to reach the best spots and to organise our time during the visit. Zoe was very patient the time that most of us lost our ways to come back to the bus. I really suggest this trip, nemophilas and wisterias are in fully blooming now!

We loved flowers and this tour is more than what we expected. The time alloted for each park is not enough but since this is a packaged tour of 2 parks in a day and considering the locations are far away from each other, it is expected to be short. Tommy is friendly and very considerate to give grace period when we got lost and were back few minutes late. Thank you, Tommy!

Tommy guided us so well that I didn’t even have time to get lost—emotionally or physically. 10/10 survival rate. Also, plot twist: I came here not knowing what my favorite flower was, and left fully committed to Wisteria like it’s a new personality trait. Didn’t expect a tour guide and a life-changing floral awakening, but here we are. Arigatou gozaimashita~ otsukaresama deshita Tommy & Driver—for the smooth trip 🌸🪻🌷

Our trip started with unfortunate heavy rain at the seaside park. While this meant fewer tourists, it also dampened our spirits for enjoying the flowers and taking photos, and the food vendors weren't open. Luckily, the rain stopped when we arrived in Ashikaga, where we had a meal and browsed the wisteria souvenir shop. Throughout the trip, our guide, Ariel, was incredibly thoughtful, always providing high emotional support, speaking fluently, and flexibly adjusting the itinerary to suit the group's needs. She even prepared small gifts for everyone. Overall, I highly recommend this tour if the weather is sunny; the flower fields would be absolutely beautiful.

I was really looking forward to seeing the Nemophila and Wisteria today, but the weather didn't cooperate. It started raining early in the morning, and when I got to the park, it was windy, rainy, and cold. Seeing only a few scattered blue flowers on the hillside was a bit disappointing. Afterward, we drove to see the Wisteria. On the way, the sky cleared up, and by the time we reached the park entrance, we could already see the Wisteria in full bloom and smell its fragrance. This trip turned out to be sweet after a bitter start.

What a pleasant surprise! Traveling solo allows you to join these local tours. This time, I got to see a sea of flowers, with all sorts of varieties. The biggest surprise was seeing the wisteria flower field; it smelled wonderful. Our tour guide, Tommy, patiently explained the itinerary and was very attentive. I'm very satisfied with this trip.
