It’s hard to keep a secret of Hitachi Seaside Park ravishing beauty. Hitachi Seaside Park or Hitachi Kaihin Koen is located in Ibaraki perfecture. Travellers from around the world are craving to see the breathtaking view of the Hitachi Seaside Park.

What makes Hitachi Seaside Park special? Millions seasonal flowers on a vast expanse of land truly is picturesque landscape that makes Hitachi Seaside Park’s beauty is hard to match. If I am to list down the most beautiful places to go to before you die, Hitachi Seaside Park will absolutely be in my list.

As the main attraction is seasonal flowers (baby blue eyes, sunflowers, cosmos and kochia bush), this Park loses its dazzling charm off the season. Those coming to the park in off season are to visit the amusement park. Without the flowers/bush, Hitachi Seaside Park is merely a regular park.

In a nutshell, visiting Hitachi Seaside Park needs a careful planning. Local news and Instagram are important resources to refer to when it comes to know the Park’s condition. Of course, TiptoeingWorld is one of reliable sources for places to visit in Japan.

We always monitor the weather too, if the temperature is warm enough for the flowers to bloom or kochia bush to change colour. We have the benefit of staying inside this beautiful country. It’s always easy for us to pick a date and hit the road.

When you are staying outside Japan, planning ahead can be a challenge, especially choosing the date for the visit.

So, when is the best time to visit Hitachi Seaside Park? 

Spring: Late April to Early May

Millions of Nemophila blue or baby blue eyes are the main attraction of Hitachi Seaside Park in spring. Apart from the Nemophila blue, tulips are also blooming at the Park. The best time to visit Hitachi Seaside Park in spring is within Golden Week holiday, April 29th – May 5th. Sometimes baby blue eyes are still blooming until second week of May but will not be as fresh as late April to early May.

It’ll will be extremely crowded at the Park. Try to arrive before the opening time (0830 am) and start queuing for the entrance ticket. Alternatively, pick late afternoon to arrive at the Hitachi Seaside Park and stay there until the closing time. It’s even more quiet before the closing time. Minus point: you may lose sunshine for pictures taking.

Summer: Mid-August

Green kochia and sunflowers are summer’s main attraction at Hitachi Seaside Park. It is much better to visit the Park while the sunflowers are blooming. The green kochia will still grow until end September to early October before start changing colour in autumn.

In summer, mid August is the best time to visit the Park when sunflowers blooms and kochia’s green colour are at its best.

Autumn: Third and Fourth Weeks of October

The green kochia will have completely change to bright red colour in October. There were not many people know red kochia in the past, until it was featured on the news. Nowadays, red kochia is photographers’ most sought after scenery in autumn. Apart from its beauty, it is much easier to photograph red kochia compare to baby blue eyes in spring.

Cosmos also blooms in this season and last only for a week. Red kochia last 10 days before completely change the colour to brown then die. Third and Fourth weeks of October are the best time to visit the Park when kochia’s red colour is the brightest and all cosmos are blooming.

Like in spring, it is best to arrive before the opening time  or late afternoon before the closing time.
