[2025 Chichibu Attraction] Travel Guide for Hitsujiyama Park (Updated Feb)

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

#Tokyo Attractions There are many famous places to enjoy cherry blossoms outside Tokyo. This time I chose Yangshan Park on the Seibu Line. It only takes 1 hour by car from the center of Tokyo to enjoy the fantastic view of cherry blossoms📸☺️ After getting off the subway station, you still have to walk a short distance to see the full screen of cherry blossoms, many locals enjoy the cherry blossom season, the distant mountains plus full of cherry trees, feel the gift of nature ❤️✌️ There is also a small Chibon Torii next to it, which is very special in the spring scenery, a great place to take pictures😍👏

#TokyoAttractions Yangshan Park is a natural resort famous for its colorful sea of ​​flowers. From June to October every year, a sea of ​​gorgeous flowers bloom here, attracting a large number of tourists to enjoy it. This sea of ​​flowers is composed of dozens of different varieties of flowers, including cosmos, zinnias, cornflowers, etc., intertwined into a moving color picture. As the seasons change, different types of flowers will bloom one after another, making the entire sea of ​​flowers present a rich and ever-changing scene. Visitors feel as if they are in a beautiful kingdom of flowers and are deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them. There are several miles of flower paths in the park. Visitors can stroll along the paths and appreciate the posture and fragrance of flowers up close. In addition, there are flower viewing platforms, flower sea stone benches and other facilities to facilitate visitors to slow down and enjoy the feast of flowers. At night, the sea of ​​flowers will be decorated with dazzling lights, presenting another moving night scene. When coming to Yangshan Park, visitors can not only enjoy the magnificence of nature, but also feel the vitality of the earth and appreciate the profound significance of the beauty of flowers. This is undoubtedly a dream garden worth visiting.

During the spring season in Japan, foreign tourists tend to focus only on the famous cherry blossoms at tourist spots, but in reality, there's more to see than just cherry blossoms. From April to May each year, there is another equally stunning flower called Shibazakura (Pink Moss). In this post, I would like to introduce a spot to view Shibazakura at Hitsujiyama in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, which is not far from Tokyo. It is mostly visited by Japanese locals, and you hardly see any foreigners here. During the festival, you can enjoy both Pink Moss and various local foods offered by the local Japanese vendors. It's a real treat for both the eyes and the palate.

It's almost in full bloom, so you can see it all during the Golden Week until May 6th⭕️Can you find all 10 varieties of moss pinks🥺? You can also enjoy other flowers such as tulips and nemophila. At the Chichibu Marche, which is held at the same time, there are many Chichibu gourmet foods! I had blueberry gelato from "Okine Farm" for 350 yen.

I took advantage of the holiday to ride the Chichibu Railway to Nagatoro for a river trip to see the rock formations in mid-April, then went to the Shibazakura Hill at Hitsujiyama Park in Chichibu's Makkaji area. Chichibu also has a whisky distillery, and the Chichibu Shrine features richly colored carvings. This trip was a very satisfying nature journey, during which I also enjoyed a variety of delicious foods. The hotels there are affordable, grateful!

#springblossom Hitsujiyama Park, Chichibu, is known for its attractive moss-pink field. Open hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the festival from mid-April to early May. The ticket price was just 300 yen per adult, and it’s really worth it. The ticket counter staff and other staff were really kind and friendly. The park is well maintained, and they have some beautiful flower decorations too. They had 10 types of flowers there, and those flowers are lovely and take away all stress. This hillside park is pretty crowded during festival season, but you can still enjoy it. You can enjoy a variety of foods from stoles in addition to the moss pink yard.There are plenty of food styles, which include Japanese traditional cuisine. The food was really yummy, and the vendors were really nice. When you go a few steps further, you can see a few sheep on their small farm. Sometimes we can’t actually watch sheep at the zoo, so I feel so happy. However, take my advice: if you go during peak season, please be ready to walk, or else you can get on a taxi too. I walked from Chchibu station to Hitsujiyama Park, and it took me 20 minutes, but it was a nice experience. This gorgeous park gives you fresh air to breathe. It was worth visiting this garden again, and I hope to go there next year too.

Have you ever seen a vast field of flowers? Yes, I did. And it was in Chichibu's Hitsujiyama Park. This picturesque view is blooms during the end of Spring around April and early May. The park is quite big, and these moss pink fields are located at the southern part of it. What's also great when visiting this park is that, you won't starve. They also have a lot of food stalls around. #wintergetaway
