Ibaraki: Hitachi Seaside Park & Oarai Isosaki Shrine & Unlimited Pear Picking Day Trip (From Tokyo)

Hitachi Seaside Park Mid-April to Mid-May: Nemophila Hitachi Seaside Park spans 200 hectares and features different beautiful flower fields in each season. The most attractive is the Nemophila blooming from mid-April to early May every year. After full bloom, the plains and hillsides are covered with粉 blue flower fields, which are the same color as the sky and the ocean, weaving a great view.

Mid-July to Mid-October: Kochia Hitachi Seaside Park has more than 30,000 Kochia plants. In summer, the green Kochia is endless. In autumn, it forms a red color, as if competing with maple leaves, which is very beautiful.

Oarai Isosaki Shrine Oarai Isosaki Shrine, founded in 856, enshrines the god Okuninushi no Mikoto and is widely worshiped as a god who protects family safety and business prosperity. It is also famous as one of the best sunrise spots and a sacred place to view the sea in Japan. The “Kamiiso Torii Gate” of Oarai Isosaki Shrine stands on a rock in the Pacific Ocean, with the background of waves beating against the rocks, creating a spectacular view that cannot be missed!
