Hitachi Seaside Park: (Entrance fee included) Hitachi Seaside Park is famous for its flower fields that change with the seasons. Nemophila covers the hills in spring, lush greenery abounds in summer, and red kochia bushes resemble clouds and seas in autumn. The park is open and suitable for walking, cycling, and photography, and is suitable for all seasons.
Kamiiso Torii: (If the arrival time at Ibaraki Seaside Park is 13:00 or later local time, the Kamiiso Torii trip may be canceled, please understand) The Kamiiso Torii stands on the Pacific reef and is a symbol of Oarai Isosaki Shrine. At sunrise in the early morning, the waves, rocks, and vermilion torii gate reflect each other, creating a solemn and sacred scene, which is a highly representative photographic spot in the Kanto region.
Ashikaga Flower Park: {[Great Wisteria Festival - Wisteria Flower Story 2026] Night illumination period: April 19 (Sun) - May 17 (Sun), 2026} Ashikaga Flower Park is famous for its dreamy wisteria flowers, and the wisteria tunnel in spring is like a cloud and a waterfall, and is known as one of Japan’s representative flower scenes. The park has flowers in all seasons and night light shows, which are romantic and beautiful, and is a very popular flower viewing spot.













Reviews
Great tour if you'd like to visit 2 flower parks in one day + a coastal Shinto shrine. Hitachi Seaside Park is vast, and the nemophilia field is magical. Ashikaga Flower Park is full of colorful roses. Our guide was very helpful and educational.
great day out to see the most beautiful Nemophila blue sea of flowers and Ashikaga wisteria park has an amazing display of a good variety of wisteria. the only negative is that it’s too rushed and not enough time to see everything and have a meal.
so grateful to Leo and our driver for keeping us safe and ensuring we visit all 3 places in one day! they were both friendly and made sure we were well taken cared of!!
it's a bit rainy but everything was okay. leo was a great guide. he gave us random facts of the places. hopefully more time at ashikaga flower park. 2 hours is enough for hitachi seaside park. thank you for this itinerary.
Nice park and Flowers, must go during the right season to see the flowers you like
This is a flower viewing tour, visiting Ashikaga to see the night wisteria and Hitachi to see the nemophila flowers. Both are seasonal attractions. There's no need to worry about transportation, as tour guide Liu is very attentive and meticulously plans the itinerary. He frequently reminds the group of meeting times and guides us on the quickest way to reach attractions. We are very grateful to him.
whole Tirp was amazing and our tour guide Elsa top of the top! we spend wonderful time and I would recommend this trip to everyone
Had a great experience overall. The transport service was good, although I was asked to move to another bus and ended up in the last row. The guide was very helpful and communication was clear throughout the trip. My main issue is with the itinerary. The schedule placed the first destination during peak sunny hours, as we reached around 1 PM. However, we left the last destination by 7 PM, just after sunset, so we couldn’t properly enjoy the illumination. Also, the package was advertised as a “Wisteria Season” tour, but there was no wisteria to see. I understand that the season may have already ended, but this should have been updated in the itinerary details. I chose this package mainly because of the wisteria. That said, this is just a recommendation for improvement. I still really enjoyed the trip, especially because the rose garden was so beautiful.
A great day! Lots to see and do. Very cool to be able to see Ashikaga Flower Park and Hitachi Seaside park on one tour! Would recommend :)
Ms. Elsa was a great tour guide. She explained some background on Tokyo and as well each tour location in detail.
