After meeting with the tour conductor, you will embark on a scenic bus journey to our first destination, the stunning Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture. Known for its breathtaking seasonal flower displays, the park’s most famous feature is the vast Nemophila Hill, where millions of delicate blue flowers create a mesmerizing sea of blue. As you stroll through the park, the vibrant colors of the flowers stretch as far as the eye can see, perfectly blending with the blue sky and sea in the distance. Visiting in early spring means witnessing this spectacular "blue carpet," which is best enjoyed from mid April to early May. Please note: The Kochia flowers are typically bloom in autumn (late September to early October), so you will not see the famous red hillside during this season.

Next, you will head to the Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture, home to one of Japan's most famous flower displays. The park’s signature attraction is the 150-year-old Great Wisteria Tree. This massive tree creates a canopy of cascading purple flowers, offering a magical experience. Another highlight is the Shirofuji (White Wisteria) tunnel, which stretches for 80 meters, and the Kibana Fuji (Yellow Wisteria) tunnel, all blooming in a glorious spectacle of colors. From mid-April to early May, the park transforms into a wisteria wonderland, drawing visitors from all over the world. Please note: This tour does not include lunch. You may bring your own or purchase a light snack at the parks.
