Visit Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

In 2017, Wof took his mother on a seven-day tour of five prefectures in Japan and Tokyo. On the second day after arriving (May 9, 2017), he activated the JR Tokyo Wide Pass and started his most anticipated flower-viewing trip. The first flower-viewing spot was the Ibaraki Prefecture Hitachi Seaside Park. The Hitachi departs from Ueno at 9:00 a.m. and arrives at Katsuta at around 10:20 a.m., a journey of about 1 hour and 45 minutes. If you are not using the JR Tokyo Wide Pass, the fare for this trip is 3,818 yen (about HK$270). After arriving at Katsuta Station, transfer to the Ibaraki Kotsu Bus bound for Seaside Park at the East Exit No. 2 Bus Stop. The journey takes about 20 minutes and the fare is 400 yen (about HK$28). The entrance fee to Hitachi Seaside Park is 410 yen (about HK$30). After purchasing the ticket, follow the signs and walk to the Pink Butterfly Hill. The park covers an area of ​​190 hectares and has a beautiful environment. Although Wof and his mother avoided the Golden Week, the park still had more visitors than expected. The blue sea of ​​​​white butterfly flowers is particularly beautiful against the backdrop of the yellow rapeseed fields. The blue carpet woven by 4.5 million white butterfly flowers is so spectacular that it is no wonder it was selected as one of the "most beautiful views in Japan that you must see before you die." The flowering period of the butterfly flower is from mid-April to mid-May every year. The park has a variety of rides, including a Ferris wheel, which is suitable for the whole family to enjoy during the holidays. #Overseas Travel#Flower Viewing Tips
