Parque Hitachi Seaside de Tóquio, Cataratas de Fukuroda e Excursão de Um Dia à Ponte Ryujin

The tour led by Guide Rei was perfect in every way, except for the weather. It was my first solo trip to Japan, and I really wanted to see the nemophila at Hitachi Seaside Park... but the weather was truly terrible. It was a day where even an umbrella couldn't keep you dry, which was a huge disappointment. I had such high expectations... but the flowers were still beautiful. A field full of small, blue flowers with red flowers dotted here and there as accents. I think there were yellow canola flowers on the other side? If you walk down the hill, you'll find a red gate with a self-photo stand, so if you're traveling alone, definitely check it out. On the way to Ashikaga Flower Park, we stopped at Mibu Rest Area, and coincidentally, there was a Chiikawa pop-up store, which was fun to browse. They also told us that Mibu is famous for strawberries, so I bought various strawberry products and ate them at my accommodation. The weather was really good when we went to Ashikaga Flower Park, and it was lovely to see the purple wisteria flowers in full bloom. The white wisteria was already at its peak, and they said the purple flowers would be followed by yellow wisteria until May. I was happy because I went specifically to see the purple wisteria. It was interesting to see that not all wisteria flowers bloomed in the same style; their shapes varied slightly. There seemed to be a mix of Korean, Western, and Chinese tourists, but Guide Rei was fluent not only in Korean but also in English, which made the trip comfortable even amidst the crowds. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Nemophila and wisteria. Guide Rai's decision to visit Ashikaga Flower Park first, anticipating traffic, and then Hitachi Seaside Park, seems like the best choice. My only regret is that while the wisteria bloomed until the first week of May in previous years, in 2026, much of it had already fallen, which was a bit disappointing.

Hitachi Seaside Park and Ashikaga Flower Park were so beautiful. The weather was good and the flowers were in full bloom. Thankfully, the weather was perfect! Our guide, Juna, is so lively.

I had a wonderful time in both parks, Juna is super kind and our driver is skilled and confident! We were breezing right through some small towns on the way, and even the bus trip between places is scenic and peaceful. I saw more flowers than I think I've ever seen in my life! There's also a lot of opportunity to pick up regional snacks and take breaks. Would recommend!

It’s such a beautiful day. We’re very happy to participate in the one-day tour led by Juna. Today, she is both a tour guide and a driver. Miss Juna is a great guide. She is organised, courteous and efficient, and can speak English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. Perfect timing to see the blooms in both Hitachi Seaside Park and Ashikaga Flower Park! Worth to join!!

Juna is the best tour guide I've ever met. Her English is simple and easy to understand, so communication was never an issue. She is very friendly and attentive to everyone in the group, taking us to the best spots for photos and fun. She also recommended delicious strawberries! Finally, I want to praise Juna's language skills; she can speak English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. We were so happy to have such a lovely and beautiful guide today. It felt like we were with a good friend, and everyone had a perfect day (especially my Totoro)!

Our tour guide Juna was amazing the whole entire time — we really enjoyed her company. Hitachi was definitely not a disappointment and absolutely worth visiting. I’m a little sad because I came a bit late for the wisteria season, but nonetheless I still thoroughly enjoyed all the other beautiful flowers that were in bloom. Last but not least, our driver was so friendly the entire time as well. BOOK if you’re looking for a peaceful nature vibe — this is a MUST do!

This was such a good experience and a breath of fresh air, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The guide Juna was friendly and made sure our itinerary went by smoothly with seamless transfers between each place. She recommended good food to try and even knew the photo spots at each places. We were also given ample time to explore each place (about 2 hours each). Overall a good experience! ☺️🩵💜

This was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. The parks were absolutely beautiful, and the itinerary was really well planned. We arrived at Hitachi Seaside Park very early, so it was still quiet and not too crowded—such a nice experience. Our tour guide, Mrs. Juna, was also very informative and made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended

Perfect timing to see the blooms in both Hitachi Seaside Park and Ashikaga Flower Park! Sights were surreal🤍 Our guide, Juna, was the best!
