Those who travel to the Land of the Rising Sun with an excursion program, must certainly include the Japanese park Hitachi in their plans.
What is interesting about Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan?
The territory of the national park occupies 120 hectares - this is a kind of record for this kind of parks . This includes countless fields with a variety of plants (mostly flowers), a pool for visitors, a lunar park, cafeterias, children's play areas and even a zoo with exotic fauna. The territory is cut by the kilometers of pedestrian and bicycle paths. The name of Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan is translated as "dawn". And indeed, it is in the morning hours of walking here that an extraordinary state of appeasement comes into the soul.
Seaside Park Hitachi in Japan - a field of simple, but unusually beautiful flowers. It is their massive congestion that makes walks in the park so exciting. From time to time, flower festivals are held here, for which tulip fields, nemophile (forget-me-not), poppies, cosmeas, lilies are planted.
Considering the photo of Hitachi Park, I want to understand that for the fluffy balls, similar to our roll-field, occupy huge territories. At different times of the year they have a special color: in spring and summer - green, by the autumn they turn pink-yellow, and closer to winter they are filled with bright red crimson. All this is surprisingly unpretentious kochi, a shrub that can grow on any soil and with minimal care to amaze with its forms and shades.
The park is designed so that there is always something blooming here. The flowering of some plants is replaced by others, and so until the very late autumn, after which there is a winter break until March. In the groves under the trees you will meet modest daffodils, and a little further a whole field of tulips, numbering more than 170 varieties.
But the real queen of the park is rightly considered an American forget-me-not, or a nemophile. It happens to be the most unusual shades, but the most beautiful are the blue flowers. Admire the flowering of these blue-blue fields people come from afar. Come and you to see it and take away in your soul a piece of floral Japan - transparent and airy, like a blue nymphophile.
