Passeios por Hitachi Seaside Park

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!

It was just in time for the nemophila bloom at Hitachi Seaside Park, and since it's quite inconvenient to travel there independently from Tokyo, I signed up for a Klook day tour. Our guide was Elsa, a gentle-spoken Chinese girl. The journey from Tokyo took about two hours. Our first stop was Oarai Isosaki Shrine and the torii gate by the sea. The shrine has over a thousand years of history, and the garden outside is very serene. After descending a long staircase, we reached the seaside to see the torii gate, and Elsa helped us take some beautiful photos! Afterwards, we went to Nakaminato Fish Market for lunch. The fish market isn't large, but even though it was a weekday, there were many tourists, and we waited a long time in line for lunch! We almost missed our集合 time, so we asked Elsa to help communicate, and she even assisted us in getting our food. We are truly grateful to her! The last stop was the main event, the nemophila flower fields. Hitachi Seaside Park is so vast that we paid extra to take the park tram to the flower fields, where we enjoyed taking photos and exploring. It was truly magnificent and beautiful! We were very lucky to have such a wonderful guide and fellow tour members. Everyone gathered on time, and we all rested quietly on the bus without making noise, enjoying a pleasant day together!

A refreshing escape from Tokyo as it offers a perfect mix of nature, culture and great food.The local seafood was fresh and delicious. Seaside park was a bit disappointing as now is the season for the flower hills but since the park is big so still a nice walk in the green forest. There is fun fair and play ground for children but no time to play. Overall, exploring scenic parks, visiting temples and shrines, taking in the ocean views, Ibaraki offers a different side of Japan that's well worth discovering.

Wonderful trip, 3 beautiful spots in one day. Kind and friendly tour guide, Ms. Ana. Tour operator should update meeting place information - it is now GinzaNovo (not Tokyu Plaza Ginza) - to avoid confusion.

We were not able to catch the wisterias in full bloom anymore but the tour is great. The Nemophila flowers we got to see. So much to see, too little time. We started by 11am but we could hopefully start by 9am so that we would have more time in each location and not feel rushed. No time to eat properly. Took too many pictures. Will definetly go back!

It takes about 2 hours to get there from Shinjuku Station. The first stop is Oarai Isosaki Shrine for a photo op, where we'll stay for about 1 hour. The second stop is Nakaminato Fish Market. Due to the holiday, there were too many people, and long queues everywhere, so we stayed for about 1 hour. The last stop is Hitachi Seaside Park, where the entrance fee is 800 yen, and we'll stay for about 2 hours.

我們的領隊Anna小姐認真的介紹，也照顧到每個團員。雖然到第一個景點足利花卉公園時下著雨，有點美中不足，但紫藤花的美還是令人驚艷。第二個景點國營常陸海濱公園，一整片的粉蝶花感到心曠神怡，還有五彩繽紛的鬱金香，也是美不勝收。最後參觀明太子工廠，買了明太子的產品，這個行程非常推薦。

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!
