One of the famous attractions in Chichibu – Sheep Mountain Park, about 25-30 minutes walk from Seibu Chichibu Station or Mikahata Station, and from the entrance, there are many ramps, walk to Shibazakura Garden is quite tiring, suggest if you go from the station, you can consider taking a taxi, save unnecessary ramps 😅 I only walked for about two hours, because my purpose is to see the cherry blossoms🌸 Before leaving, I went to the official website to see, in fact, the most famous is the cherry blossoms, when just entered April, the website said the cherry blossoms opened 10%, so I did not think to see, because I know the cherry blossoms are mostly blooming in late April and early May. I don't know if it's a weekday, there are really few people, the whole park seems to have seen at most a dozen Japanese 😅😅 So some of the more remote roads are quite quiet, fortunately it is broad daylight, otherwise it will be scared 😆 There are pink and purple, super beautiful, plus cherry blossoms to match, very beautiful and beautiful place, passers-by and my mood should be the same heart ❤️ flowers 🌸 blooming 😍 If the right time to come, I think the whole Shichi Sakura Park should be super lively and beautiful, have the opportunity to come again Chichibu and Yangshan Park ~ ~ recommendation 💕 #OverseasTravel #Japan #Tokyo #near Tokyo #Cherry Blossoms #Shiba Cherry

#Japan Attractions When I came to Tokyo, I saw a lot of cherry blossoms, but those could only be cherry blossom trees. I finally saw a piece of cherry blossom forest in Yangshan Park. My dream came true 🌸🌸🌸 Yangshan Park is 20 minutes walk from Chichibu Station, and there are stairs, to challenge personal physical strength 💪 but for the view to work hard On the road, you will not get bored when you see waterwheels, vegetation, and long red torii gates Finally arrived, the endless cherry trees, pink cherry blossoms blooming, in the breeze blowing enchanting, and falling dots of pink petals, like the sky full of snow, this scene is really touching Yangshan Park has the famous cherry blossom viewing area (with material, and the south side is planted with about 1000 cherry blossoms 🌳, this time the area is the south side viewing area (no material), the cherry blossom forest in the distance against the snow-capped mountains more elegant, forming a majestic and elegant picture 🌹🌹🌹❤

During Golden Week, I went on a day trip to Chichibu and Nagatoro in Saitama Prefecture. Seibu Chichibu Station is easily accessible, just 80 minutes from the city center. Here is a classic route that is perfect for a day trip. First, we went to Hitsujiyama Park, famous for its moss pinks. The best time to see them was said to end on April 30th in 2022, but they were still worth seeing in the first week of May. For lunch, we had the specialty pork and miso rice bowl, Nosaka's pork and miso rice bowl bento, which we took out and ate in the park. Currently, due to the effects of COVID-19, they are only open for takeout. We walked to Onohata Station and took the Chichibu Railway to Nagatoro Station. In Nagatoro, we experienced line rafting (river boating). There was also a rapids spot, which was like an attraction. After disembarking, we spent some time relaxing on the rock bed, looking at the river. 1.

Wanpaku Square and Kuzuha Inari Shrine (Hitachiyama Park) Wanpaku Square has several types of athletic equipment and playground equipment. It is on a small hill and surrounded by trees, so it may be difficult to find. Kuzuha Inari Shrine is located next to Wanpaku Square, and there are many torii gates on the stairs. It is a 15-20 minute walk from Onohata Station on the Chichibu Railway or Seibu Chichibu Station or Yokoze Station on the Seibu Chichibu Line. Hitsujiyama Park is large and has many things to see.

Bokusui Falls is an artificial waterfall located halfway up the foot of Kumakicho 42yama Park in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. There is a Japanese garden, gazebo, waterwheel, and more. Although the water was not flowing when I went, it was nice to be able to see it in order.

Miharashi no Oka 41-1 Kumaki-cho, Chichibu-shi, Saitama Prefecture. Located in Hitsujiyama Park, this hill offers a panoramic view of downtown Chichibu. There is a parking lot, a restroom gazebo, stone statues, and benches. The cherry blossoms are beautiful in spring, and the night view is also beautiful. I went there on a clear day, and the location with a panoramic view was great.

A hill covered with cute little moss pinks. A hill overlooking the town. Hitsujiyama Park has two hills to enjoy. The road is filled with nature, and the atmosphere of the road is different, making it a fun walk. There are events depending on the season, so it's even more fun if you go at the same time.

Hitsujiyama Park in May? Let’s just say—it’s not just a flower park, it’s the gateway to an unforgettable springtime adventure. I arrived on a warm, sun-drenched morning, and the famous shibazakura (moss phlox) fields were already putting on a show—rolling waves of pink, white, and purple blooming in every direction like a living patchwork quilt. The scent of flowers filled the air, bees buzzed lazily through the blossoms, and Mount Buko towered in the background like it was guarding the magic below. But the real thrill? Beyond the flower fields, winding trails led up into the Chichibu mountains, calling out to be explored. I couldn’t resist. I followed the paths past the crowds, up through forested slopes where the wildflowers kept going, just in quieter, more peaceful bursts. Every turn revealed sweeping views of the valley, with Chichibu City below and endless green peaks in the distance. The higher I climbed, the more it felt like a true spring adventure—birdsong echoing through the trees, sun filtering through fresh leaves, and the kind of fresh mountain air you wish you could bottle. After a few hours of hiking, I found a quiet overlook, kicked back with my onigiri lunch, and just let the view soak in. If you’re looking for a spring hike that combines iconic blooms with untamed trails and epic views—Hitsujiyama Park is calling. #TripMoment #HitsujiyamaPark #ChichibuAdventure #SpringInJapan #ShibazakuraSeason #MayHikes #HiddenJapan #MountainTrails #NatureEscape #HikeAndBloom 🌸⛰️🌞

#cherryblossom25 📍 Saitama, Hitsujiyama Park 🚆 Take the Seibu Ikebukuro Line to "Seibu Chichibu" Station, then it's about an 18-minute walk. 🕗 Open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM 🎟️ Admission: 300 yen After enjoying the blue flowers at Hitachi Seaside Park, you can't miss the pink sea of Shiba sakura at Hitsujiyama Park! It's like pure happiness 💖 The flowers are absolutely gorgeous and perfect for photos 📸. The peak bloom season lasts until early May, so if you're planning a Golden Week getaway, this is the place to be! 🌸#travel

#cherryblossom25 Okay, Hitsujiyama Park is technically more famous for its shibazakura (moss phlox), but I hit it during the crossover season — and wow, it deserves a spot on this list. Nestled near Chichibu, the park has a broad hillside of hot pink, magenta, and white moss blossoms that bloom below a stunning view of Mount Buko — and tucked around the edges? Classic cherry trees in full bloom. I walked through both — sakura petals fluttering into the candy-colored fields below. It's like flower overload in the best way. The atmosphere was peaceful and family-friendly, and it wasn’t super crowded, which made it perfect for just soaking in the views. I took a drone shot from above that made my entire #cherryblossom25 feed pop. Bring good walking shoes, snacks, and a full phone battery. This one’s a feast for the eyes.

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😍👏

At Hitsujiyama Park in Chichibu, you can see shibazakura (moss phlox). April is the best time to visit. The local specialty is pork rice bowl, and this time we bought a bento from Nosaka and enjoyed the shibazakura in the park. We also visited Mitsumine Shrine nearby! There was a bit of traffic, but it was a fun drive after a long time! Next, I want to see the nemophila in Ibaraki! Chichibu is a great place, so definitely visit! It's about a two-hour train ride from Tokyo, so I recommend it🫶

#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.
