Hitachi Seaside’s Kochia

I was so happy to see the kochia at its brightest last week in October. It was scarlet red color that only lasted about a week before it turned brown. It looked like a red blanket on the mountain. For those who prefer an easier way to explore, you can rent bikes or take the shuttle bus to tour the whole area. There was a carnival in the area as well. #kochia #japanautumn #hitachiseaside #ibaraki
