[Saitama Prefecture] A spectacular patchwork of moss pinks! "Hitachiyama Park - Moss Pink Hill"

Mt. Buko is the symbol of Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture. The hill of moss phlox is a spring feature of Hitsujiyama Park, which uses the mountain as a backdrop. The best time to see the hill is from mid-April to early May, just in time for Golden Week. The hill covers an area of ​​about 17,600 square meters. There are about 9 varieties and more than 400,000 moss phlox plants of various pink colors. The moss phlox festival is held every year, and there are stalls and farm produce direct sales stores, making it very lively. It is a bit of a walk from the parking lot, and it is surprisingly difficult to find a place to sit on site (benches are often filled), so be careful. If it is sunny, Mt. Buko and the Chichibu mountain range will spread out against the blue sky, making it very photogenic! #tripdomestictravel #saitamaprefecture #famousflowerspot #greatview
